an oboist, a pianist, a singer, and a percussionist? Pleasure.
That’s what it is. Pleasure." Uel Wade, ccSCOOP.com, January 26, 2009

Black Bear's Hudson Valley Tale - Planning of our new “music-telling” theatrical piece for audiences of all
ages has begun in collaboration with award-winning Hudson Valley children’s author, Iza Trapani.
The approximately
1-hour long theatrical concert - titled Black Bear's Hudson Valley Tale - will weave an original
story, original instrumental and vocal music, and creative movement into a performance that will engage the hearts and minds
of children and their families, allowing them to “see” with their ears and “hear” with their eyes.
The production is scheduled for its premiere at the Center for the Performing Arts in Rhinebeck, NY in Fall 2009, to coincide with the conclusion of the Hudson/Fulton Quadricentennial.
