SummerFest will be held on June 10th, 2022 and will once again be hosted at Cradle Valley Farm. More information to follow, but be sure to mark your calendars!

Sam Reider & The Human Hands
featuring Eddie Barbash (founding member of Jon Batiste’s Stay Human Band)
“modern folk music with saxophone and accordion.”
— The New York Times
Irresistible melodies, fiery improvisation, and otherworldly sounds collide in what Songlines magazine dubbed a “mash-up of the Klezmatics, Quintette du Hot Club de France, and the Punch Brothers.” The New York Times calls it “modern folk music with saxophone and accordion.”
The Human Hands got their start playing regular late night sessions at well-known dives and venues like Brooklyn’s Barbès and Sunny’s, and Manhattan’s Rockwood Music Hall. The group has evolved into a 21st-century folk music orchestra featuring a rotating cast of some of the brightest names in jazz, bluegrass, classical, and world music.
We have a delightful evening planned at Cradle Valley Farm—complete with food, spirits, and lots of good fun. We hope you will join us.
Program:
Ritornello 2.sq.2.j.a. — Caroline Shaw
Trojan Women – Hecuba and Cassandra — Lisa Bielawa
Quiet Art from Impressions for string quartet — Jennifer Higdon
Leyendas, An Andean Walkabout — Gabriela Lena Frank

Seven Pillars has been nominated for two GRAMMY® awards – Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance & Best Contemporary Classical Composition
Seven Pillars by Andy Akiho.
WARNING: This performance features strobe lights, and could potentially trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy.
We close out the season with Seven Pillars by Andy Akiho. Described as “trailblazing” by the LA Times, composer Andy Akiho brings rhythmic nuance and complexity to his compositions that I find both intoxicating and irresistible. The first-rate percussion ensemble, Sandbox, comes to us from Brooklyn to reveal this awesome work and share their supernatural powers in all that is percussion.
Fun fact: Andy composed Pillar II while staying at Cradle Valley Farm in Solebury!

On September 18th we present ChamberFest 2021 where we will find ourselves at Glen Oaks Farm for the unveiling of the World Premier of Clouds of Gill by Paul Wiancko (paulwiancko.com). Commissioned by Concordia and fashioned on cloud spotting, this uplifting and inspired composition is written for clarinet, violin, and cello. We are so proud and excited to welcome a new chamber work into the world! Also featured on the program will be a string trio by French composer, Jean Cras who found his inspiration from regions visited during his career as a naval officer, capturing the spirit of Celtic fiddling, the exoticism of the West Indies and Senegal, and the jazz harmonies of the Americas. The program will also feature another of my favorite compositions by Paul Wiancko entitled American Haiku for viola and cello.
