Silver Sun Foundation Residency

The Woods Await!

The mission of the Silver Sun Residence program is to offer creative professionals and change makers an opportunity to develop new work in a tranquil environment. Located in Woodstock, NY it certainly was a respite to the business of an 8 show Broadway week. I was at the Residency under the umbrella of The Secret City. One of my favorite organizations, The Secret City presents ecstatic community art celebrations featuring storytelling, visual art, guest performers, a live band, a community choir, and playful interaction. I ended my residency week participating in the annual Secret City Woodstock Revival- A town wide festival celebrating art, community and the unique creative spirit of Woodstock. Below, I’m singing and playing in the woods on the beautiful Comeau trail….please watch.

The theme was Community

Sunday, November 20

“Fortunately art is a community effort – a small but select community living in a
spiritualized world endeavoring to interpret the wars and the solitudes of the flesh.” — Allen Ginsberg
Reaching back into my classical past, I performed The Swan from Carnival of The Animals by Saint-Saens.

The Secret City  takes place at Dixon Place;161A Chrystie St(between Rivington & Delancey)

The Secret City Wonder Walk

Sept 10th 10am – 12am

Join me as I play a new song, “Trees” and a standard, “Come Rain Or Come Shine”
under the bows of a sublime tree in Central Park.
“Come join us as we stroll nearly the entirety of the great Island of Manhattan.
We will visit familiar spots and little known pathways; we’ll see gorgeous public art
and mundane displays of beauty. There will also be site-specific performances along the way.”
~ I’ll be one of those site specific performances!
A day of discovery not to be missed
