SUMMARY:Octagon House Classic Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, a registered National Historic Landmark\, was created as a summer retreat by tea-importer Joseph Stiner. Its shape was based on the theories of Orson Squire Fowler\, a phrenologist\, who believed octagonal houses enclosed more space\, allowed the sun in at all times\, and permitted more views into the landscape. \nThe tour includes a brief history of specimen plants original to the property\, the carefully restored Lord and Burnham greenhouse\, the wonderfully romantic foxglove garden\, (shaped in the exact size and footprint of the house itself!)\, and the charming Octagonal birdhouse\, (a scaled-down replica of the house). Visitors will also experience the house’s wrap-around veranda that offers 360-degree views of the lush landscape\, as well as particular architectural details which relate specifically to native plants and foliage of the grounds. Finally\, the tour will continue inside the house with an interior tour of the first\, second and third floors\, which retain their magnificent ornamentation and furnishings. \nTimed tours only\, last tour of the day starts at 4 pm. Tickets must be purchased in advance. \nThe Octagon House is a private residence. In exchange for the opportunity to experience this one-of-a-kind historic home\, all visitors must follow house rules.

SUMMARY:Pacifica Quartet with Orion Weiss\, piano
DESCRIPTION:Recognized for its virtuosity\, exuberant performance style\, and sometimes daring repertory choices\, the Pacifica Quartet has gained international stature as one of the finest chamber ensembles performing today.

His deeply felt and exceptionally crafted performances go far beyond his technical mastery and have won him worldwide acclaim. Weiss’s impressive list of awards includesthe Gilmore Young Artist Award\, an Avery Fisher Career Grant\, the Gina Bachauer Scholarship at the Juilliard School and the Mieczyslaw Munz Scholarship. \nThe Pacifica Quartet and Orion Weiss are planning the following program:\nFlorence Price: String Quartet no. 1 in G major\nSergei Prokofiev: String Quartet no. 2 in F Major\nIntermission\nAntonin Dvořák: Piano Quintet No. 2 in A Major\, Op. 81

SUMMARY:Octagon House Classic Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Armour-Stiner Octagon House\, a registered National Historic Landmark\, was created as a summer retreat by tea-importer Joseph Stiner. Its shape was based on the theories of Orson Squire Fowler\, a phrenologist\, who believed octagonal houses enclosed more space\, allowed the sun in at all times\, and permitted more views into the landscape. \nThe tour includes a brief history of specimen plants original to the property\, the carefully restored Lord and Burnham greenhouse\, the wonderfully romantic foxglove garden\, (shaped in the exact size and footprint of the house itself!)\, and the charming Octagonal birdhouse\, (a scaled-down replica of the house). Visitors will also experience the house’s wrap-around veranda that offers 360-degree views of the lush landscape\, as well as particular architectural details which relate specifically to native plants and foliage of the grounds. Finally\, the tour will continue inside the house with an interior tour of the first\, second and third floors\, which retain their magnificent ornamentation and furnishings. \nTimed tours only\, last tour of the day starts at 4 pm. Tickets must be purchased in advance. \nThe Octagon House is a private residence. In exchange for the opportunity to experience this one-of-a-kind historic home\, all visitors must follow house rules.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Josh Ritter - Solo Acoustic
DESCRIPTION:Tarrytown Music Hall is thrilled to welcome singer/songwriter Josh Ritter back to the stage. A Note from Josh about this upcoming tour: \n\n\n“Hi Everyone! \nI don’t know about you\, but for me this past year has had more than its fair share of long nights of the soul. Whether in song or prose or one of those weird creatures that lives between\, I’ve returned to stories over and over again for sustenance and counsel and forgetting. I’ve also found myself dreaming of touring again\, being on stage\, performing my songs – my stories – like I did for so long before the world turned on its head. I’ve lived in those memories when I couldn’t be on stage in any other way. \nNow I get the chance to perform again. I’m so excited I almost can’t contain it. I want my first set of shows in a year and a half to be in places that will allow me to sing some of the stranger\, quieter\, more narrative songs that I may not always get to at a rock show. I want the venues to be special and beautiful\, I want laughter and music and stories that are true even if they’re unreal. Finally\, I want to perform again\, stomp the dust off\, see what new appendages and teeth and claws have grown from this time in the wilderness\, see what joy can come from sorrow and what tears can come from joy. \nI’m so excited to see you again. \nRock On! \nJosh”
