Fedora
Jazz, Pop, Classical and Holiday Music Sunday, December 2 nd 4 p.m. On Sunday, December 2, The Chapel Restoration will present Fedora, a group that was formed by four individually acclaimed musicians who love to play together and who are comfortable playing in a number of styles. Alan Kay, clarinet, Jesse Mills, violin, Gregg August, bass and Alon Yavnai, piano, will perform a program of dance-inspired music with a nod to the holidays at the historic landmark on the banks of the Hudson River in Cold Spring. The concert at 4:00 is free and open to all but donations are suggested. Fedora’s eclectic program encompasses music from Straus waltzes to the Stravinsky dances of “L’histoire”,from American Shimmy to Calypso to Klezmer and a few holiday favorites to kick off the season.
