Jazz | Piano in the Park: "Masterful" Musician & Composer


Come on down and swing along to the best ragtime, stride, and jazz the Big Apple has to offer, with musician Armen Donelian. “Those who still believe that jazz is a down-and-dirty genre of music must cast their ears toward Armen Donelian, who, with his original music and arrangements of the scores of others, brings a serene sense of dignity and elegance to every measure.”  - The Berkshire Eagle An eclectic musician of Armenian origin,  Armen Donelian has appeared internationally as a pianist, composer, and bandleader since 1975. His piano playing reveals a masterful command rooted in classical and jazz studies, clean articulation, a deft swinging touch, access to a broad dynamic spectrum, a virtuosic harmonic vocabulary, and a boundless source of creative ideas.

Workshop | Enter the World of Macro Photography: Learn about Technique, Technology, & More


In this presentation, photographer Lester Lefkowitz will inform you of the basics of getting close, the terminology, and the relatively simple and inexpensive ways to get started with macro photography. There are an infinite number of small things all around us that make fascinating photographic subjects. The techniques necessary to make great images of diminutive subjects are somewhat different from those for conventional photography. Using scores of great photographs, you'll learn about close-up filters, extension tubes, and macro lenses; how camera types affect your technique and results; how to handle what becomes very limited depth-of-field; proper methods for the tricky aspects of close-up focusing; and even some suggestions as to what you might photograph (sure, lots of examples of bugs and flowers, too).
