Westchester has been home to one of the richest musical legacies in America, as generations of composers found inspiration and solace here.
The Music from Copland House ensemble starts their new residency at the Emelin Theater with an eclectic, entertaining program journeys across 100 years of music by Westchester natives and transplants. Music ranging widely from romanticism to modernism to wild romps that embraces the sounds of vibrant folk songs, British fifes, and languid ballads. The concert features music from a trio of Pulitzer Prize winners (Aaron Copland, Joan Tower, and Samuel Barber), Old and New World masters (Charles Tomlinson Griffes and Pierre Jalbert) and one genuine, undefinable maverick (Percy Grainger). You won’t “hear” Westchester in quite the same way!
Ticket holders are invited to a post-performance ‘OFFBEAT/ONSTAGE’ talk with the artists.
The Emelin Theater is committed to the safety and well-being of all our patrons. Proof of full COVID-19 vaccination and masks are required for all attendees.

The band’s name is uttered in the same breath as many of the groups they looked to as influences and others who arose as peers. Queensrÿche built a dedicated legion of fans traveling the globe on tour with fellow rock giants like Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Judas Priest, and Def Leppard. In recent years, they’ve consistently delivered high-octane live shows combining the hungry fire of a new band with the tempered experience of master showmen. Even with eleven gold and platinum plaques and several Top 10 hard rock anthems woven into the very fiber of the genre, Queensrÿche won’t relent. In fact, they are in the throes of a jaw-dropping creative resurgence.

“They played the Led Zeppelin music with an extraordinary sensuality and an energy and passion that highlighted their superb musicianship.” — Jimmy Page
“Strapping on the double-necked Gibson with attitude to burn, this all-girl quartet pays tribute to its swaggering namesake Led Zeppelin, ripping through the catalog with blazing accuracy.” — The New York Times
Founded in 2004 by New York guitarist, Steph Paynes, the all-girl quartet, LEZ ZEPPELIN, has since gained unanimous critical acclaim as one of the most exciting live acts around, becoming the first female rock act to pay homage to Led Zeppelin and to garner rave reviews across the board. LEZ ZEPPELIN stays true to the musically audacious spirit of the original, delivering the legendary rock band’s blistering arrangements and monstrous sound note-for-note at sold-out frenzied shows around the world.
The thing that sets LEZ ZEPPELIN apart is the seamless and unique way they inject their gender-bending performance into the original material. They have been featured on major television including the BBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, MTV, VH-1, FOX and radio shows worldwide, such as Sirius XM and NPR. The group’s first studio album, Lez Zeppelin, was produced by legendary producer/engineer, Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix). The group’s second LP, Lez Zeppelin I, is an authentic re-make of Led Zeppelin’s first album, using the very same vintage equipment employed by Led in 1968.

Kevin James (4/29/22)
2022-04-29 19:30 - 22:00 | Tarrytown Music Hall, 13 Main Street, Tarrytown, 10591
Presented by AM Productions
Kevin James began his career as a stand-up on the Long Island comedy scene. After being discovered at the 1996 Montreal Comedy Festival, he signed a network development deal to create his own sitcom. The King of Queens, which premiered in 1998, ran for nine seasons on CBS with James starring and executive producing, and it garnered him an Emmy nomination in 2006 for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. The show concluded its run in 2007 but continues to air daily in syndication across the country and around the world. James also starred in and executive produced the sitcom Kevin Can Wait for Sony Television and CBS.

In 2001, James brought his stand-up act to TV with Sweat the Small Stuff, a one-hour special for Comedy Central. In 2005, Kevin James and Ray Romano executive produced and starred in the HBO Sports Special Making the Cut: The Road to Pebble Beach; a documentary about the Pebble Beach Pro Am Golf Tournament that was nominated for a Sports Emmy. His second comedy special Never Don’t Give Up premiered on Netflix in April 2018.
James was the producer, co-writer, and star of the hit comedies Paul Blart: Mall Cop 1 & 2, Zookeeper, and Here Comes The Boom. James made his feature film debut in 2005 in Columbia Pictures’ Hitch starring opposite Will Smith, and starred alongside Adam Sandler in Pixels, Grown Ups, Grown Ups 2, and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. He starred in the feature True Memoirs of an International Assassin for Netflix in 2016. In addition to his on-camera work, James’s voice has been featured in the animated films Barnyard for Nick Movies, as well as Monster House and the Hotel Transylvania franchise for Sony Pictures Animation.

Influencing the likes of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Van Halen, Vanilla Fudge has certainly secured a place in Rock n’ Roll history!
In the summer of 1967, amongst the “sit ins”, protest marches and “happenings”, Vanilla Fudge released a remake of The Supremes “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”, scored a top ten hit and never looked back. Charting five other tracks on the Billboard Top 100 over the next three years, Vanilla Fudge were architects of a new musical style that included psychedelia, rock, soul music and gospel. They were, and are masters of reinterpreting other artists hit songs, and their effect on the soon to explode late 60’s “heavy metal” scene was undeniable. Their contribution and legacy remains intact, and with a 50th year anniversary in 2017, “The Fudge” as their devotees refer to them, are hopeful for a nod by the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame!
The powerhouse vocals, and keyboard flourishes of virtuoso organist Mark Stein, along with the fluid guitar explosions of Vinnie Martell, all anchored by arguably by one of the best rhythm sections in the history of rock music, with the legendary Carmine Appice on drums and Pete Bremy on bass (filling in for the retired Tim Bogert), they create a sound so unique that it cannot be imitated. Your spirit will jettison right back to a “happening” in that magical summer of 1967, and this “happening” needs to be felt live to truly be appreciated!

International Jazz Day Concert in Ossining
2022-04-30 19:00 - 21:00 | Bethany Arts Community, 40 Somerstown Rd, Ossining, NY, 10562, United States

Tickets/Registration: https://bethanyarts.org/product/international-jazz-day-concert/
Admission Fee: $25.00
Celebrate International Jazz Day at Bethany Arts Community with a trio of renowned jazz artists featuring saxophonist Dan Blake, pianist/accordionist Vitor Gonçalvez and percussionist Rogério Boccato. These three musical explorers will present an evening of music by legendary composer and visionary artist Hermeto Pascoal, whose music truly embodies the universal spirit of jazz music.
Beginning with a stint with Miles Davis in the 1970s, Hermeto Pascoal rose to prominence beyond his native Brazil because of his unique compositions and idiosyncratic performance style, which has been documented on numerous recordings and has influenced countless musicians around the world. Central to Hermeto’s musical vision is the concept of “som da aura” (sound of the aura), where any sound from nature – a farm animal, a soccer announcer, a waterfall, a bird song – can become music. This sonic aura reveals the deep musicality that surrounds and unites us all. For International Jazz Day, join this trio as they play to celebrate our human capacity to embrace the unknown and to experience interconnectedness through sound.

A profusion of carefully curated flowers grew in the walled garden of La Casa Azul, Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera’s home in Mexico City. Frida wore some of their flowers to accent her flamboyant Tehuana hairdos and dresses. Flower crowns are symbolic in Mexican culture, portraying the beauty of the country’s biodiversity and honoring its ancient indigenous culture.
Celebrate the color and culture of Frida’s flowers with a special gallery tour at 1pm, led by Timothy Tilghman, horticulturist and Head Gardener of Untermyer Gardens Conservancy, and Laura Vookles, HRM Chair, Curatorial Department. Together, they discuss the science and symbolism of the flowers and foliage in the works on view, including the lush tropical vegetation in Diego Rivera’s La ofrenda, photographs on view in Frida Kahlo in Context, and works in The World of Frida that pay homage to the Kahlo’s floral iconography.
Following the tour, join a hands-on workshop from 2–4pm, presented in English and Spanish, and create your own iconic flower crown from fresh flowers.

About the poem: Thunder, Perfect Mind is a poem written by an unknown woman circa 400 A.D. (C.E.) . It is part of a collection of Gnostic Texts found at Nag Hammadi. It is thought to have originated in Alexandria, written in Greece and translated into Coptic and is the only manuscript known to have survived. Scholars assume it was written by a woman since its form and content follows early Jewish, Egyptian, and Gnostic poems said to be “… the self-revelation of a powerful goddess.” (Patricia Cox Miller: Professor Syracuse University)
