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.

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 . 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.

Volunteers Needed for 2023 State Special Olympics Fall Games

Written by Kate Haggerty on . Posted in Community, Featured, Sports.

Have you ever wanted to volunteer? Do you want to feel like you are giving back to the community? The Special Olympics Fall Games are taking place on Saturday, October 21st, 2023, with Opening Ceremonies on Friday October 20th… And they are looking for volunteers!

This is a great opportunity to support athletes from across the state, earn service hours, and be a part of the community. The Special Olympics is looking for both full-day and part-day volunteers. 

The 2023 Special Olympics Fall Games take place throughout our area on Saturday Oct 21st:

The Cycling Event: SUNY Adirondack

The Bocce & Softball Event: The Adirondack Sports Complex

The Golf Event: The Brookhaven Golf Course

The Cross-Country Running Event: Cole’s Woods

The Equestrian Event: Skidmore College 

The Special Olympics supports over 5-million athletes with 32 Olympic-type sports. These events help to improve the health and well-being of people with intellectual disabilities, and highlight the transformative power of sports to instill confidence, improve health, and inspire a sense of competition. Volunteering with the Special Olympics helps increase leadership potential for community members, and helps to end discrimination of people with intellectual disabilities by shifting the focus to what the athletes CAN do, not what they can’t do.

Volunteering with the Special Olympics creates friendships and builds communities. Volunteers include local coaches who work with the athletes, people who help organize and plan the games and photographers who take pictures of the athletes in action. Volunteers are also on hand to cheer for the athletes who have traveled from outside of the area, support running the events, and work to set up and break down events. Volunteers must be 13 years old or older!

Missing 9-Year-Old Charlotte Sena: Found Alive!

Written by Kate Haggerty on . Posted in Community, Featured.

Charlotte Sena has been found alive and in good health, and the suspect is in custody.

The Intense search for 9-year-old Charlotte began on Saturday evening when she didn’t return from a bike ride while camping with her family at Moreau State Park. Her disappearance sparked an around-the-clock search, which involved hundreds of personnel – including the FBI.

An invaluable break in the case came early Monday morning when a ransom note was dropped in the mailbox at the home of the missing girl. This ultimately led to authorities finding Charlotte and arresting the suspect. 

Fingerprints on the note identified Craig Nelson Ross Jr., 47. Law enforcement tracked him to his residence just two miles from the Sena family home, and arrested him on Monday evening. They immediately found Charlotte hidden in a cabinet. The girl appeared to be “Outwardly physically unharmed” and was taken to a hospital to be examined. 

Around 4:20 AM, on Monday morning, the suspect drove to the Sena family home and placed the ransom note in their mailbox. State Police discovered the note, and were able to recover fingerprints from the document and run them through law enforcement databases. The match came at 2:30 PM, identifying the fingerprints as belonging to Ross, whose fingerprint was entered into the database in 1999. 

Investigators believed that Ross was living in a residence behind his mother’s home, and two state and federal SWAT teams descended upon the residence and arrested Ross around 6:30 PM.

In addition to fingerprints, investigators also analyzed cell phone pings and park records, which contained information about visitors who paid an entrance fee to register to camp overnight. Charges have not been brought yet, but they are fully expected.

Glens Falls Symphony 40th Anniversary Season Starts this Sunday!

Written by Staff Report on . 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.
