Written by Staff Report on October 4, 2023. Posted in Columns, Community, Downtown, Entertainment, Featured, In the Arts, News.

Glens Falls, NY—For the first time, The Hyde Collection is pleased to introduce the 2023-2024 season of The Met: Live in HD, featuring nine live performance broadcasts from the Metropolitan Opera House in New York directly to The Hyde. The series, which is offered on select Saturdays beginning on October 21, 2023, and concluding on May 11, 2024, is presented in the comfort of The Hyde’s state-of-the-art auditorium, with pre-screening programming offered in partnership with The Sembrich. The Hyde is the regional provider of The Met: Live in HD.

The Met: Live in HD joins the best British Theatre and Great Art from around the world to round out the On Screen @ The Hyde experiences. Beginning October 13, 2023, The Hyde Collection remains the exclusive Capital Region area venue for National Theatre Live, a thrilling film series of great plays and Great Art on Screen. Whether you show up for serious drama, romcoms, sold-out theatre hits, or award winning documentaries, these unmissable experiences are filmed live from Britain’s most exciting stages or captured from destinations worldwide. You’ll always have the best seat in the house at The Hyde Collection.

Commented Katelyn Foley, Curator of Education and Engagement at The Hyde Collection, “We are so excited to offer the 2023-2024 season of The Met: Live in HD. The award-winning series of live, high definition cinema simulcasts features the full live performance. Met artists serve as hosts for the Live in HD series, providing backstage interviews, introducing exciting behind-the-scenes features and conducting live interviews with stars, crew and production teams from The Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. We have been working on this new offering for several years and are so pleased to bring this new cultural opportunity to our region.”

“We are honored to bring The Met: Live in HD, National Theatre Live and Great Art on Screen to our members, community, and region,” acknowledged John Lefner, The Hyde Collection CEO. “We are beyond excited to offer The Met: Live in HD to our 2023-2024 season. This new experience will take place in our beautiful state-of-the-art high-definition 144-seat Helen Froehlich Auditorium. Offering exceptional cultural experiences is central to our mission as a world-class art museum.”

The Met: Live in HD events are made richer by a partnership with The Sembrich, a unique museum in Bolton Landing that preserves the life & legacy of soprano Marcella Sembrich (1858-1935), one of The Met’s first operatic stars. The Sembrich will provide an exclusive 15-minute preview program prior to each of the 2023-24 season operas. These discussions will be on-site at the Hyde Collection and will feature The Sembrich staff and special guests, including performing artists and professionals from the music world.

“We take pride at The Sembrich in Marcella Sembrich’s long association with the Metropolitan Opera,” says Richard Wargo, Artistic Director at The Sembrich. “We’re honored to further that tradition through this exciting partnership with The Hyde—and to share the rich history of Sembrich at the Met with the community.”

Each performance ticket is $20, $18 for Hyde members, $18 for seniors and students with valid ID, and $5 for children under 12. Special student matinee performances are $10 per student.

This series is funded in part by Robert and Susan Hahm, Pinnacle Nutrition LLC, and The Candy Space. Student matinees are supported by lead education sponsor Stewarts Shops & The Dake Family with additional support from Francine & Robert Nemer.

South Glens Falls Central School District Seeks Additional Federal Funding for Meal Programs

Written by Staff Report on October 4, 2023. Posted in Community, Education, Featured, Food.

The South Glens Falls Central School District now can be included in the recently expanded federal Universal Free Breakfast and Lunch Program.

The U.S. The Department of Agriculture announced that It is extending the opportunity for approximately 3,000 more school districts to provide complimentary breakfast and lunch to all students. This expansion of the Community Eligibility Provision, known as CEP, will allow South Glens Falls to request inclusion among the districts eligible to apply for additional funding.

“We are absolutely thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce universal breakfast and lunch for all our students. We have long advocated for the expansion of these vital services,” Superintendent Kristine Orr said. “The significance of free school meals cannot be overstated. Beyond ensuring that students have access to balanced and nutritious meals every school day, providing free meals to all students eradicates the stigma often associated with receiving assistance, has been shown to bolster school attendance, and enhances our students’ ability to concentrate and excel academically.”

Food Services Manager Robert J. DeFrancisco was also pleased with the announcement: “I am elated that our district may soon be able to offer universal access to breakfast and lunch. The availability of nutritious meals at school can play a pivotal role in fostering healthy eating habits from a young age. Proper nutrition during childhood leaves a lasting imprint on health and cognitive development,” DeFrancisco said.

South Glens Falls was able to apply for inclusion in this federal program as of October 1st, 2023, and if the application is approved, the district will share additional information regarding the program.

Glens Falls Symphony 40th Anniversary Season Starts this Sunday!

Written by Staff Report on October 2, 2023. Posted in Columns, Community, Entertainment, Featured, In the Arts, News.

The Glens Falls Symphony’s 40th Anniversary Season starts this Sunday, October 8th, 2023! It will be featuring Metropolitan Opera Star and Mezzo-Soprano MaryAnn McCormick, performing Edward Elgar’s “Sea Pictures” as the symphony kicks off their highly anticipated year of Music & Adventure!

The adventure starts with a Short Ride on a Fast Machine – John Adams, born in 1947, composed Short Ride in a Fast Machine in 1986 on a commission from the Great Woods Music Festival in Mansfield, Massachusetts. It’s a good example of Adams’s particular take on minimalism – its melody (if one can call it that) is monotonous, but the rhythm and meter constantly and unexpectedly shift; as does the instrumentation, keeping a sense of both exhilaration and scariness… There are also echoes of Aaron Copland and John Williams in the harmonic language. Asked about the title, Adams said, “You know how it is when someone asks you to ride in a terrific sports car, and then you wish you hadn’t?”

The next piece is Sea Pictures, Op. 37, by Edward Elgar (1857-1934). Composing songs was not one of Edward Elgar’s strong points – he usually composed them out of a more mundane than artistic imperative, or as he referred to them, “a nice little earner.” He started a number of song cycles, but completed only Sea Pictures, which premiered in October of 1899. The poems of Sea Pictures provide five different perspectives on the sea by five diverse speakers! For more information on this piece, please visit our website at www.theglensfallssymphony.org

The orchestra will round out the evening by dancing through time and space with Symphonic Dances, Op. 45, by Sergey Rachmaninov (1873-1943). Composed in 1940 and dedicated to Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Symphonic Dances is Rachmaninov’s last work, and is often considered his best orchestral composition. Surprised by its favorable reception, Rachmaninov commented: “I don’t know how it happened. It must have been my last spark.”

The work is something of a retrospective nostalgic piece that recalls pre-Bolshevik Russia, with its romantic sentimentality and the pervasiveness of the Russian Orthodox Church. The first dance – marked Nonallegro – has a primeval quality with its pounding ostinato and large percussion section; in it, Rachmaninov demonstrates a particular interest in the musical texture of individual instruments. The middle section features the oboe and the alto saxophone – Rachmaninov’s only scoring for this instrument – in a series of birdcalls, followed by another of the composer’s broad romantic themes on the saxophone, taken up later by the violins.

A fanfare for muted trumpets introduces the second dance, Andante con moto (Tempo di valse). It is a dreamy serenade, mostly lightly orchestrated, with solos passed off from one instrument, or section, to another in mid-phrase. As the waltz approaches the end, the tempo becomes increasingly erratic, ending with a frantic coda.

Following a slow introduction, the dark final dance (marked Allegro assai) combines the syncopated rhythm of a theme from the Vespers, with dance-like allusions to the Dies Irae plainchant melody – Rachmaninov’s signature theme from the Roman Catholic Mass for the Dead. It has a contrasting middle section in which the tempo slows considerably, focusing on the strings… When the initial tempo resumes, the solo trumpet begins hinting more broadly at the Dies Irae; and finally, near the end, Rachmaninov states it openly as part of the climax to the movement with the full battery of percussion instruments in attendance… Now, the character and meaning of the entire movement is revealed as a dance of death.

21 Arrests Made in Glens Falls: 16 Juveniles and 5 Adults After Summer of Havoc

Written by Staff Report on October 2, 2023. Posted in Community, Downtown, Featured.

Over the summer, throughout the City of Glens Falls, motorists and bystanders were harassed by groups of teenagers. As a result, Glens Falls patrol officers have arrested 21 people on charges ranging from misdemeanors to felonies.

In August, the police department notified the public that they were investigating multiple reports of juveniles committing crimes, mostly in the downtown area… 16 of the individuals who were arrested were juveniles, and five were adults.

An increase in reported activity involving youths during the summer is not unusual… However, these reports were especially alarming: “Usually it’s just the minor traffic calls, they’re blocking traffic and harassing motorists. When the motorists or bystanders confronted the youths… That’s when it started to escalate,” Smith said.

Mayor Bill Collins urged the public to call the police rather than handle the situation on their own: “We needed people to report this to us so we could address it, so if you see something, say something. Call us, and don’t engage these kids alone – let us do it,” Collins said.

The juvenile participants were charged with assault and gang assault, and the adults were charged with endangering the welfare of a child for not supervising their children. The juvenile cases were filed through family court, while the parents are scheduled to appear in city court.

Historical Marker to be Unveiled Recalling Carleton’s Raid Of 1780, and The Burning of Fort George

Written by Staff Report on October 2, 2023. Posted in Community, Education, Entertainment, Featured.

The Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance and the Washington County Historical Society
are unveiling a new historical marker at the Battlefield Park on Sunday, October 8th, beginning at
1:00 PM. This marker will be commemorating the final destruction of Fort George in 1780 by British forces under Major Christopher Carleton. The public is invited to attend the ceremony where the marker will be placed – across from the Battlefield Park Visitor Center, 75 Fort George Road, Lake George. The marker was funded by the William G. Pomeroy Foundation.

From October 8th through 11th in 1780, Carleton led 1,000 British soldiers, Native allies, and Loyalists on
a raid that included parts of modern-day Essex, Saratoga, Warren, and Washington Counties.
The Carleton Raid, also known as the “Great Burning”, met its strategic objective – the
destruction of Fort Anne and Fort George, ending the Continental Army’s presence in the North
Country.

Washington County Historical Society Vice President and Lake George Battlefield Park
Alliance Trustee Pat Niles, who has spearheaded efforts to install markers about the raids
throughout the Tri-County area, noted the utter havoc and material losses they caused: “These
raids destroyed a large percentage of pre-Revolution structures from Fort Ann and Queensbury
to Schuylerville, on both sides of the Hudson River.” Niles said. “They also provoked terror…
Some local townships actually joined Vermont after the raids, having lost faith in New York’s
ability to protect them from the British.”

The William G. Pomeroy Foundation states on its website (www.wgpfoundation.org)
that markers such as the one being unveiled for Carleton’s raid “play an important role in local
historic preservation by serving a dual purpose: they educate the public, and foster historic
tourism, which in turn can provide much needed economic benefits to the towns and villages
where the markers are placed.”

Bruce Venter, Alliance Trustee and president of America’s History LLC, said: “Major Carleton’s raid is a much-overlooked component of the British strategy in 1780… British leaders looked to support their Iroquois allies who had suffered the devastating effects of the Sullivan-Clinton campaign the previous year. Combined with raids in the Schoharie and Mohawk Valleys, the British intent was to avenge the American incursion of 1779… Incidentally, an invaluable compass – excavated during an archaeological dig at Fort George and having the markings signifying Carleton’s own 29th Regiment of Foot – may have been lost during the raid, and is now on display in the Battlefield Park Visitor Center.”

In addition to an overview of Carleton’s raids by Pat Niles, the October 8th ceremony will
include presentations by State Senator Dan Stec and Lake George Town Historian Margy
Mannix. Assisting with the marker unveiling will be John DiNuzzo, Lake George Battlefield Park
Alliance President, and Nat Huntington, Washington County Historical Society President. Fort
William Henry reenactors will serve as a color guard, and fire a salute to the soldiers who
perished in the raid at Fort George.

Following the ceremony, Pat Niles will lead a tour in Lake George Battlefield Park of
locations associated with the destruction of Fort George, the ruins of which can still be viewed
by visitors. The tour will present the context of the battle that preceded the attack on the fort,
the circumstances that led to its capture, and its occupation and final burning. The Park Visitor
Center will be open Friday through Monday this weekend, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
