Dance Performance | New York Sword Dance Festival
Half Moon Sword will present its 37th annual New York Sword Dance Festival. The event will feature nine performing troupes from across the northeastern U.S.. Sword dancing is a winter celebration practiced in the farming and coal-mining regions of northern England, where the annual visit of the local sword dancers to the village homes was thought to guarantee good luck for the year. The sestival will feature both mystical, stately longsword and vigorous rapper sword dancing, with live music on fiddle, accordion, and other instruments. In both types of sword dance, the dancers are linked in a ring by the “swords” they hold in their hands while they work as a team to weave intricate figures and patterns without breaking the circle. The dances are thought to have roots in ancient Half Moon Sword rituals, traces of which can still be seen in these present-day displays of skill.

Workshop | Cultivating Emotional Balance: Exploring Fear and Worry (online)
Fear, worry, and anxiety are our frequent companions. From an evolutionary point of view, they are supposed to help us deal with the unexpected, ensuring survival, and, ideally, even helping us offer greater service to the world that so badly needs profound change. However, if the deeper patterns associated with these emotional states become obscured from our view—so much that reactions arise merely automatically—our life can become quite difficult. The Cultivating Emotional Balance program, developed upon the request of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, includes both contemplative tools and psychological tools that can help us harness the primordial energy of fear and turn it into a helpful tool assisting our wellbeing. In this 3-hour online session, teacher Michael Lobsang Tenpa will offer the basics of the CEB approach, facilitate an in-depth exploration of different approaches to fear, and share some tools for calming our system down in moments of uncertainty. The workshop will include guided meditations, journaling, explanations, and optional group activities, all done in the spirit of tender enquiry.

Festival | Winter Ice Sculpture Show
The show is an excit-ing one-day event where vis-i-tors will be able to expe-ri-ence live ice carv-ing, enjoy music, and vote on their favorite works for the "People's Choice Award," pre-sent-ed to the fan favorite.

This Win-ter Ice Show strives to democ-ra-tize this pop-u-lar activ-i-ty, trans-form-ing it into one open to all artists regard-less of dis-ci-pline and pre-vi-ous experience.

Classical Music | Vocalists Perform Works By Schubert, Richard Strauss, Purcell, and More
Vocalists Rebecca Marchan, Sarah Curtis, Sam Cancelarich, Victoria Guzman, and Alan Egre perform pieces by Schubert, Modesta Bor, Ned Rorem, Richard Strauss, Jarrar, Wolf, Purcell, and more for an evening of art song. About the Composers Schubert (1797-1828) was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic eras. Despite his short lifetime, Schubert left behind a vast oeuvre, including more than 600 secular vocal works (mainly lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music, and a large body of piano and chamber music. Modesta Bor (1926-1998) was a Venezuelan composer who composed for orchestra, chamber ensemble, piano, and vocal performance, writing more than 95 choral works for mixed and 130 for equal-voice choir. Ned Rorem (1923-2022) was an American composer of contemporary classical music. Best known for his art songs, which number over 500, Rorem was the leading American of his time writing in the genre. Although he wrote works for piano, orchestra, and chamber ensemble and solo instruments, he considered all of his music vocal and song-like in nature. Richard Strauss (1864-1949) was a German composer, conductor, pianist, and violinist. Considered a leading composer of the late Romantic and early modern eras, he has been described as a successor of Wagner and Liszt. Along with Gustav Mahler, he represents the late flowering of German Romanticism, in which pioneering subtleties of orchestration are combined with an advanced harmonic style. Felix Jarrar is a composer and pianist who has performed at Symphony Space, Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall, and more. His works have been performed by artists from the Metropolitan Opera. Hugo Wolf (1860-1903) was an Austrian composer of Slovene origin, particularly noted for his art songs, or Lieder. He brought to this form a concentrated expressive intensity which was unique in late Romantic music. Purcell (1659-1695), whose style of Baroque music was uniquely English, was also known for incorporating Italian and French elements into his pieces. He is generally considered among the greatest English opera composers.
