Music of the Gilded Age in the Hudson Valley
Dr. Christopher Brellochs 2018-2019 Sabbatical
Imagine walking through beautiful gardens and across meticulously maintained grounds, entering a building designed by a leading architect of the 19th century, being surrounded by expertly curated interiors highlighting the finest decorative arts of the period - and finally, as the culmination of the experience, hearing exquisite music that was created for this space.
Event: Concert by Christopher Brellochs, Ice Cream Social at Boscobel House & Gardens (Garrison, New York)
Date: June 30, 2018 (rain date July 1, 2018)
Time: 12-3 pm
Step back in time as you walk through beautiful gardens and grounds with an ice cream in hand and the sound of a 19th century saxophone quartet drifting through the Hudson Valley. Christopher Brellochs will be making a mini-documentary of this event with excerpts of the performance, a tour through the house and grounds, and interviews with experts from Boscobel.

For my sabbatical, I have been given one year off from Dutchess Community College (DCC) to research Music of the Gilded Age, create partnerships with historic estates in the Hudson Valley, and to present unique music programs that will contribute to the arts and culture of the area and raise awareness of this region's unique historic and cultural value. Excerpts of each mini-documentary will be offered to the historic estate and county tourism sites to promote arts in the Hudson Valley. I will also nurture an ongoing relationship with program directors so that collaboration can continue after the sabbatical to include performance opportunities for DCC music students in the community.
