The excitement of the summer has passed, and we move forward with the ongoing programs at Huntington Arts Council. As we welcome several new board members (see below), we would like to acknowledge those rotating off our board: Immediate Past President Andrea J. Maire for her years of service, dedication and stewardship; Kenneth Gold for his commitment to the arts; Lucy Mazany for steering the annual budgeting process to a workable solution; and Rosemary McLaughlin for her passion and assistance with Got Talent? Thanks also to Robert Maire, Andrea’s husband, who served on our Finance Committee and helped guide HAC to financial stability. It is with admiration and gratitude that we extend our sincere thanks. HAC celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Huntington Summer Arts Festival with a reception at Heckscher Museum on June 27, 2015. We honored Sandy Chapin with our “Harry and Sandy Chapin Arts and Humanitarian Award” in recognition of her advocacy for the arts and commitment to arts education, including founding Huntington Arts Council’s Journey Program and acting as our Arts Education chairperson. The event helped launch the Huntington Summer Arts Festival, giving it the special recognition that a golden anniversary deserves. Moving forward, the Main Street Gallery continues to thrive, with Member Shows, Invitational Shows, our annual Art Auction and “Nightmare on Main Street” exhibit. Our Arts in Education Journey Program now serves seven school districts, as we welcome our newest partner, Cold Springs Harbor CSD. Our NYSCA Creative Communities grants program moves into full swing under the guidance of our new grants coordinator, Shelby Hintz. It is always a busy time HAC, and the next few months will continue our exciting and enriching activities.

However, what may be less apparent is the considerable artistic and creative talent exhibited by our young people. From school music concerts and theatrical performances to dance recitals and art exhibitions in both school and community settings, the impressive creative abilities of our youth reassure us that Huntington is destined to continue as Long Island’s Cultural Capital for generations to come. Among these many opportunities for creative youth, one of my favorites is our very successful Poetry for the HART teen poetry program. This program invites teen poets (ages 14-18) to submit short poems for review and possible selection for display inside our Town’s HART buses. Since the program was begun in 2003, more than 150 talented teen poets have had their work featured as part of this Public Art Initiative project. These works are read and enjoyed by our riders who use our HART buses each year. Working with the Town’s Public Art Advisory Committee in presenting this program are several community partners, including Teenspeak, the Lead Agency who suggested the project to the Town. Additional partners in this project, include Heckscher Museum of Art; Huntington Arts Council; The Long Islander, which publishes the winning poems; REACH CYA; Town of Huntington Youth Bureau; Tri-Community Supervisor Frank P. Petrone Youth Agency; Walt Whitman Birthplace Association, which typically hosts our annual award reception and reading of the winning poems; and Youth Directions & Alternatives CYA, as well as numerous area teachers who actively encourage their students’ participation. I encourage our teen poets to take advantage of this unique creative opportunity. For a listing of past winners and their poems, as well as information on the 2016 program, visit www. HuntingtonNY.gov/HARTpoetry or call the Town’s Division of Cultural Affairs at 631351-3099. Sincerely yours, Frank P.

This year we celebrate the 30th year of continuous programming. The JOURNEY program has offered teachers and students the opportunity to learn about cultures and people throughout the world. The vehicle used for exploring subjects like geography, world history, economics, global migration, language and social/cultural interaction has been through the arts. Dance, visual arts, theatre, spoken word and music are the art forms brought to students by teaching artists from all over the world. This year JOURNEY welcomes Cold Spring Harbor Central Schools as a ‘partner district’. Other districts joining us again are: Commack, Harborfields, Huntington, Northport/East Northport, Plainview Old Bethpage and South Huntington. Some of these districts have participated in our program the entire 30 years of JOURNEY’s existence!

Summer Arts Enrichment Program 2015 Once again the Summer Arts Enrichment Program was a great success!

Students could choose up to four classes a day where they would work with local teachers as well as talented HS students. This year students also had the opportunity to have an up close and personal performance by PubliQuartet & The Mighty Third Rail, as well as the Metropolitan Flute Quartet. Parents were “wowed” on the last day of the program with an amazing art display as well as a variety of performances by our very talented students. It is always remarkable to see the level of creative progress that is made in such a short timeframe. The excitement, enthusiasm and pride on the students’ faces is priceless.

The 50th Anniversary Huntington Summer Arts Festival was one of the most enjoyable and successful festivals ever, leaving us many musical memories to savor and much to be thankful for. Hi-lights? Begin with the Chapin Family – the Saturday evening concert was rescheduled to the following Monday due to heavy rain. More than 2,200 were in attendance to witness the rededication of the Chapin Rainbow Stage by Town Supervisor Frank Petrone, the entire Huntington Town Council, and Suffolk Legislator William “Doc” Spencer. Thanks to the entire Chapin clan for their willingness to reschedule and for their rousing performance! Tom Paxton, a co-presentation with the Folk Music Society of Huntington. Legendary Tom Paxton Headlined Huntington Folk Festival on July 26 - photo by Clyde Berger Thanks and kudos to Stephen Petronio Dance for kicking off the final weekend on a Thursday with their startling performance; followed by the peerless Celtic band Lúnasa on Friday; then the always brilliant David Stewart Wiley and the L.I. Philharmonic on Saturday; and winding up with an electric, “gotta get up and dance” performance by Gedeon Luke and the People. technical staff who collectively make the shows sound and look so good… thanks (and welcome!) to new Exec. Director Marc Courtade and the HAC Board for their leadership and to the HAC staff for their hard work and assistance … thanks to TOH Parks, General Services and Public Safety for all their efforts and support. On behalf of the Board and Staff of HAC, we recognize and deeply appreciate the support of the following: the Town of Huntington and the Huntington Town Council; the New York State Council on the Arts; the County of Suffolk; presenting sponsor Canon, Family Series sponsor NEFCU; and other corporate sponsors Astoria Bank, Philips Boyne Company, Daniel Gale Sotheby’s; additional financial support provided by the NYS Presenters Network, the Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, NYS DanceForce; in-kind and equipment donations provided by D’Addario & Co., King Kullen, Koenig & Meyer (compliments of Connolly Music), Korg USA, Samson Technologies, Hartke and Huntington Camera Club. Of course, the success and longevity of the Huntington Summer Arts Festival would not be possible without the support of our audience. You’ve attended, enjoyed and applauded what we do here for fifty years now. So a huge THANKS to you the public! The Chapins Take A Bow - photo by Clyde Berger The Huntington Community Band celebrated its 70th Season, dedicated to former Director Bob Domincetti who passed last winter. Heartfelt thanks to current Director Tom Gellert and the entire HCB for another five-concert series of memorable, challenging and superbly played music. Many thanks are also owed to Ravi Coltrane, Ron Stein and the fine folks at The Coltrane Home, and literally dozens of participating artists for Coltrane Day on Sunday, July 5. Workshops & jam sessions featured a who’s who of L.I. jazz musicians; the evening culminated in a rousing performance by the Ravi Coltrane Quartet. Ravi Coltrane Headlined Coltrane Day on July 5 - photo Martin Stone Deep appreciation to Grammy winner Arturo O’Farrill and the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra for a fabulous concert on July 16; a superb performance of “West Side Story” (with full pit orchestra) staged by Plaza Theatrical Productions; a special Americana weekend with back-to-back-toback rollicking good concerts by Eva, Chris Brubeck’s Triple Play, and finally the great David Stewart Wiley Conducts the Long Island Philharmonic - photo by Clyde Berger We recall the Tuesday Family Series roster of artists with special gratitude – Plaza Production’s Shrek, Brady Rymer & The Little Band That Could, Dan Zanes, Broadhollow Theatre’s Peter Pan, David Engel’s Jedi Academy, and the Dream Jam Band. Each evening was a delight for kids and parents and grandparents alike. We are also deeply appreciative to Festival regulars such as the Huntington Men’s Chorus, The Huntington Choral Society, the North Shore Pops Concert Band, the Nassau Pops Symphony Orchestra, the Long Island Dance Consortium, Sol y Sombra, the Isotope Stompers, Broad Hollow Theatre Company for “Nunsense – Amen”, and The Island Hills and Twin Shore Choruses for their impeccable performances. Not to mention all the fabulous touring artists not mentioned above – The Rad Trads, Dayna Kurtz, Kahulanui, Publiquartet & The Mighty Third Rail, De Temps Antan, Nation Beat Carnaval Caravan with Cha Wa, a Nora Jane Struthers & the Party Line and Canta Libre. As always, thanks to our fabulous volunteers and our incredibly dedicated For information on advertising please contact Huntington Arts Council at 631-271-8423 Huntington Arts Cultural News - Fall/Winter 2015 Issue - Page 16 Meet The Artist - An Extra Dimension One of the great pleasures in planning the Huntington Summer Arts Festival is developing a roster of artists who will not only entertain on the Chapin Rainbow Stage, but who will also interact directly with the community, especially young people. In 2015, we expanded our efforts to engage the community with new complementary activities: July 5, designated Coltrane Day thanks to a collaboration with the Coltrane Home and the tireless efforts of Ron Stein and many others, provided workshops in improvisation, percussion and songwriting, plus community jams in jazz, funk and the blues throughout Heckscher Park, concurrent with onstage performances by Harborfields H.S. Jazz Band, Bangalore Breakdown & the Mala Waldron Quartet. The evening performance was preceded by an on-stage interview with headliner Ravi Coltrane that explores the legacy of his father, John Coltrane, whose seminal composition “A Love Supreme” was written in Huntington 50 years ago. The full day was a tremendous success, drawing more than 2600 jazz fans, and will, we hope, become a paradigm for Coltrane Days in future festivals. PUBLIQuartet, a classical chamber music ensemble, joined the Mighty Third Rail, a violin/bass and spoken word hiphop trio, for a workshop and Q&A for 120 students at the Cultural Enrichment Summer Camp administered by HAC with the Huntington UFSD. Later that day, they gave a mini-performance for 230 youth at Project Play at the Jack Abrams School, a TOH Youth Bureau program. Both workshops introduced elements of their adventurous collaboration “Changing Night.” The full version of this retelling of the creation story was performed that evening, challenging the audience with it its sci-fi /hip hop sensibility. Grammy™ winner Dan Zanes entertained 125 students in the YMCA Performing Arts Camp with his tuneful and danceable songs. De Temps Antan treated the audience to an inside view of Quebecois music and an often hilarious depiction of life on the road during a pre-concert interview with Michael Kornfeld (President of Folk Music Society of Huntington). Arturo O’Farrill (also a Grammy™ winner for Best Latin Jazz Album in 2015) instructed 35 students and their counselors at the Tri Community Youth Agency in Huntington Station on the rhythmic and percussive elements of Latin Jazz. Arturo performed with his full 18 piece Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra that evening to more than 2000 attendees. The Petronio Dance Company held an open rehearsal the afternoon of their performance. Their brilliant Founder and Artistic Director Stephen Petronio stayed after the show for an enlightening and entertaining Q&A with the audience. The complementary activities described above exemplify why the Huntington Summer Arts Festival is so important for performing arts presentations in the Town of Huntington. Not only does the festival feature the best local ensembles, but a uniquely diverse and ever-changing roster of touring artists from the U.S. and around the world, artists who go the extra mile and work with us to further enrich the community with their talents and joy in performing. There is truly no other festival like it on Long Island!
