Visit Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown
Where the Legend Lives
We all know lakes are full of mysterious creatures, but have you ever wondered about the sounds they make?
Join musician and philosopher, David Rothenberg, in this family-friendly event as he reveals the soundscape of Rockefeller State Park Preserve’s Swan Lake using special technology. You’ll hear photosynthesis in action, bugs stridulating, fish grunting, turtles and salamanders milling about, and many sounds still unknown to science.
Let’s figure out what is making all the beautiful music out there, then join in and make some of our own! We’ll provide a couple iPads equipped with an app called Samplr so you can produce your own live music using sounds from the lake. Acoustic instruments are also welcome; David, our host, will bring a clarinet. Bring your own and play along!
Meet in the Visitor’s Center courtyard and wear sun protection.
There’s something for everyone in Sleepy Hollow Country—farmers markets, live music, street fairs, historic homes, hiking trails, kayaking and boating on the Hudson River. Halloween season brings even more for the whole family—haunted hayrides, blazing pumpkins, costumed 10K run, Halloween parade, and of course, the Headless Horseman!
