Orchard Park – one of Western New York’s loveliest villages – has the “usual suspect” haunts to be anticipated in any historic upstate village: lost graveyards, holiday-season apparitions, after-death visitations, settler-era spooks, Underground Railroad-trauma, and neighborhood ghosts. But some other connections in its supernatural track record are completely shocking, including Native American curses, ancient vision-sites, old-world paganism, and occult-conspiracy murder. We end with an astonishing tale about the Little People. It’s all here in the Haunted History tour of Orchard Park – back for 2018!

Starring Buffalo presents a thrilling new take on The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the lushly scored retelling of Victor Hugo’s epic story of love, acceptance, and what it means to be a hero.

Written by Academy Award-winners Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin) and Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Godspell), the show features songs from the Disney animated movie, as well as new songs from Menken and Schwartz. The book by Peter Parnell (The West Wing) includes passages from Hugo’s gothic novel, creating a dark and beautiful musical suitable for adults and children alike.

The Hunchback of Notre Dame will be sung in concert, with a cast featuring world-class Broadway performers and several of Buffalo’s top regional actors delivering an up-close and unforgettable musical experience. More than 100 artists will participate, including a professional orchestra, talented area high school students, and members of the UB dance department. A magical musical theater experience, Hunchback will enthrall audience members with its stirring melodies and stunning voices.

Description:
NYC veteran songwriter Cliff Eberhardt brings his literate Cole Porter meets Tom Waits style of pop/blues songwriting and expressive guitar skills to PAUSA Art House with special guest and Nashville native/Americana songwriter Louise Mosrie opening the show. The two songwriters collaborate on each other’s sets with Eberhardt playing guitar and dobro and Mosrie on background vocals. It’s a dynamic show full of laughter and passionate, heartfelt songs.

Bios:
Eberhardt got his start in music in the 70’s and 80’s under the tutelage of mentors Tom Paxton, Odetta and Richie Havens in Greenwich Village’s legendary music venues like The Bottom Line, The Lonestar and Kenny’s Castaways. While learning his craft, he was hired by production houses in NYC to sing national campaign jingles such as “The Heartbeat of America” for Chevy as well as jingles for McDonalds and Coca-Cola. He also won a local Emmy award for his theme song for NYC’s CBS affiliate.
Cliff Eberhardt was signed to Windham Hill Records and released his epic first original album in the 90s. “The Long Road” features a title cut duet with the late folk icon Richie Havens and the first single “My Father’s Shoes” hit #1 on the Billboard AC charts in cities nationwide. Eberhardt went on to produce 9 more albums on Shanachie and Red House Records to critical success as well as accumulating over 25 song cuts by other notable artists like Richie Havens, Shawn Colvin, Buffy St. Marie, Erasure, Russ Taff and Cry Cry Cry (Dar Williams, Richard Shindell & Lucy Kaplansky).

His latest project is “Shrew Songs” – written and performed in the 2012 Folger Theatre’s award-winning production of “The Taming of the Shrew”. Cliff is now working on a new production of the Greek tragedy by Sophocles – “Philoctetes” – that will open in 2019 at the Getty Estate in Malibu. He is also well known as a songwriting teacher, producer and arranger. Cliff taught songwriting at City Honors in Buffalo back in the 80’s and had a young Ani DiFranco in his class!

“Eberhardt sings with passion and wit…what makes his brand so rare is the self-assurance and poise he brings to his nearly flawless show.” —The New York Post

Mosrie got her start by taking top honors at the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Songwriting contest and then went on to win or place at several other festival competitions including Telluride Bluegrass, Rocky Mtn. Folks Fest and Falcon Ridge Folk Fest. Her album, “Home”, debuted at #1 on the Folk DJ charts in January 2010. Her latest album, ‘Lay It Down”, was arranged and produced by Cliff Eberhardt and landed on several “Best of” radio lists in 2014. She continues to tour widely as a solo artist and also with Eberhardt.

“Louise Mosrie may well be the brightest young folk-oriented artist to emerge from Nashville in many a year.” – Rich Warren, WFMT-FM, The Midnight Special, Chicago

“Nick Moeright is a criminal defense lawyer who has had an accident that has made him a wheelchair user. The night before his comeback case, he discovers that his sister, Ericka, for whom he has recently become responsible and who has high-functioning autism, has been bio-hacked. Willingly! Nick plans to confront the people who did it—just as soon as he can find them.

Alex, Nick’s fiancé, argues that it’s Ericka who’s responsible, both for the bio-hack and for herself. It’s another strike for Nick when, while recovering from his accident, Alex began to radicalize and has now become, inarguably, an eco-terrorist. The increasing pitch of Alex’s activism threatens a rift between the two men even as he works to strengthen the relationship between Nick and Ericka and also help guide Nick through his final stage of healing – acceptance.

But when Nick finally confronts the bio-hackers, it’s Alex who needs to accept the unexpected and unsettling outcome.”

$45 for for this class. or $75 for both.

Rev. John White has been a teacher of the Spiritual Sciences for over 35 years. He is a registered Lily Dale Medium & travels throughout America & Canada teaching. You may have seen him in The Discovery Channel, The Vision Channel, or even as host of Journey of Light.
Known for his ability to unite Eastern Insight & Western mysticism, John reveals secrets of the ancients disciplines. He has a unique ability to help others discover their own natural intuitive gifts.
John resides in Lily Dale, NY, the largest Spiritualist community in the world. He is a practicing medium, healer, teacher, lecturer, and intuitive counselor. He is the co-founder & current vice-president of the Spiritual Science Fellowship In Montreal Canada.

Anne Currier is a sculptor whose medium is ceramic, and she is the recipient of the 2018 Langley H. Kenzie Award which entitles her to a solo exhibition. In Display, Currier will present sculpture from her Anamorphosis series, plus a new collection of wall-mounted sculptures created specifically for the exhibition, and an installation of tile panels designed this year in collaboration with Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Orchard Park, New York. Opening October 12, 2018 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State as part of the museum’s M&T Bank Second Friday event, the exhibition will remain on view through Sunday, March 31, 2019.

Professor emerita of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, the number one ranked ceramic art Master’s program in the country by U.S. News and World Report, Currier was recently named first-place recipient of a 2017 Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Her sculptures are represented in numerous private and public collections, which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art in Sedalia, Missouri; Musée des Arts Decoratifs de Montréal; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyung-ju, South Korea; and Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

“Display, the title of the exhibition, echoes the context or intent of an object and how it can shift when placed in varying spaces; but it’s really all one display,” says Anne Currier. “Showing my work as the Langley H. Kenzie Award recipient is part of a series of year-long positive coincidences. The Burchfield
Penney’s support of craft-based media, exhibiting in its Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery and earning a collaborative grant to design tile walls with Boston Valley Terra Cotta is a confluence that transformed 2017 into a miracle for me.”

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”

“Much of my work is derived from human interaction. Imagine making an impression in the sand from sitting on the beach, getting up and seeing the residual shape formed,” describes Currier. “I also remember being inspired watching a couple do Tai Chi, intrigued by the physical call and response of their hand gestures.”

Drawing some inspiration from nature’s palette observed from her Allegany County home and studio, Currier creates surfaces reminiscent of mottled boulders, slate and rust, as well as intangible fog.

Beginning in 2009, Currier has collaborated with Boston Valley Terra Cotta to create unique ceramic tiles for interior walls. Her first commission, La Stanza di Linea, is a 14 x 40-foot wall in the Choral Room in the Miller Performing Arts Center at Alfred University. Incorporating three different tiles to create the pattern, the tiles were mounted to the wall utilizing Boston Valley’s unique clip system. Next, BKSK, the architectural firm that designed 688 Broadway, a 14-unit luxury apartment building in New York City’s NOHO neighborhood, chose one of Currier’s Boston Valley Terra Cotta tiles for installation in the entryway.

Currier’s latest tiles, designed in eight variations, will be displayed in public for the first time on two free-standing walls in the Burchfield Penney exhibition. She utilized both wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques to create undulating waves, articulated in both positive and negative profiles, and coated with uniquely formulated glazes that accentuate the rise and fall in the tiles’ surfaces. One is a semi-opaque iridescent satin white; the other is an opaque charcoal satin that breaks with a bronze sheen.

The Burchfield Penney Langley H. Kenzie Award was created to honor Mrs. Kenzie’s dedication as an artist and to support others like her. It recognizes an outstanding artist from the biennial, juried exhibition, Art in Craft Media, by granting the recipient a solo exhibition in the following year. The award is supported by the Langley H. Kenzie Award Endowment, established by her daughters, Rachel King and Mary Mahley.

The exhibition is fittingly presented in the Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery for Fine Art in Craft Media, named for the Burchfield Penney’s patron whose generous support makes the biennial exhibition possible, as well as collection development. Past recipients of the Langley H. Kenzie Award include Bethany Krull (2010), Karen Donnellan (2012), Jesse Walp (2014), and Jozef Bajus (2016), who respectively work with ceramics, glass, wood, and fiber with recycled materials.

Display has been curated by Nancy Weekly, Burchfield Scholar, Head of Collections & Charles Cary Rumsey Curator at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, and Burchfield Penney Instructor of Museum Studies at SUNY Buffalo State.

A dark and spine-tingling evening awaits…

This special evening program is different from a typical visit to the museum. Using the historic village as its canvas, costumed tour guides will lead guests by candlelight through the darker recesses of the village. You’ll experience original tales adapted from historical accounts and folklore, and re-discover eerie literary classics that held WNY in suspense some 150 years ago. This year the Historic Village is overrun with witches of all types – secret and overt, good and evil – as depicted in eight theatrical vignettes.

Please be advised that this is a 75-minute guided walking tour (rain or shine), and as such it is not recommended for people with walking difficulties or infants (strollers are not allowed). The program is also not recommended for children under age 12. ADVANCED RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED.

Family Promise WNY is an emergency shelter for families experiencing homelessness in Erie County. We keep families together through the crisis of homelessness.

Our mission is to reduce the trauma of homelessness by providing compassionate care and support to our guests on their way to stable, independent housing. Choctoberfest is our hallmark fundraiser which features basket raffles, a gift card wall and locally crafted chocolate, beer and munchies – all to help us end family homelessness. Last year we saw over 300 supporters at this event, and we hope that even more charitable, kindhearted people will show up to make this the best, and most impactful Choctoberfest yet.

She utilized both wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques to create undulating waves, articulated in both positive and negative profiles, and coated with uniquely formulated glazes that accentuate the rise and fall in the tiles’ surfaces. One is a semi-opaque iridescent satin white; the other is an opaque charcoal satin that breaks with a bronze sheen.

The Burchfield Penney Langley H. Kenzie Award was created to honor Mrs. Kenzie’s dedication as an artist and to support others like her. It recognizes an outstanding artist from the biennial, juried exhibition, Art in Craft Media, by granting the recipient a solo exhibition in the following year. The award is supported by the Langley H. Kenzie Award Endowment, established by her daughters, Rachel King and Mary Mahley.

The exhibition is fittingly presented in the Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery for Fine Art in Craft Media, named for the Burchfield Penney’s patron whose generous support makes the biennial exhibition possible, as well as collection development. Past recipients of the Langley H. Kenzie Award include Bethany Krull (2010), Karen Donnellan (2012), Jesse Walp (2014), and Jozef Bajus (2016), who respectively work with ceramics, glass, wood, and fiber with recycled materials.

Display has been curated by Nancy Weekly, Burchfield Scholar, Head of Collections & Charles Cary Rumsey Curator at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, and Burchfield Penney Instructor of Museum Studies at SUNY Buffalo State.

Join us for a walking tour of the historic Parkside neighborhood that includes special access to the home of prominent Buffalo architect William S. Wicks. This tour will begin with a walking tour of the Parkside neighborhood, and end with an interior tour of the Wicks house that will be led by the home’s current owners. A partner in the firm of Green & Wicks, William S. Wicks worked with partner EB Green to design the Albright Art Gallery, Market Arcade, Buffalo Savings Bank (Goldome), and many other Buffalo landmarks. This is a rare opportunity to see the interior of the home that Wicks designed for himself in 1890.

Planned by Frederick Law Olmsted as an accompaniment to his Buffalo park & parkway system, the Parkside neighborhood features graceful tree-lined streets that curve around Delaware Park. Always one of the most popular neighborhoods in Buffalo, the homes of the Parkside neighborhood represent a range of architectural styles from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including Arts & Crafts, Victorian, and American Foursquare.

Neighborhood landmarks include the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd where the tour begins, the Art Deco former Pierce Arrow showroom at Main Street and Jewett Parkway, and the Darwin Martin House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright (admission to the Darwin Martin House is not included in this tour). Join us on a walking tour of this picturesque Buffalo neighborhood to discover the beauty and history of its street, homes, and past residents.

The tour meets at the Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd at 96 Jewett Parkway, Buffalo, NY 14214, at the corner of Jewett Parkway and Summit Avenue. Street parking is available on Jewett Parkway, Summit Avenue, and other nearby streets.

Proceeds from this tour benefit the Parkside Community Association and Explore Buffalo.

“Nick Moeright is a criminal defense lawyer who has had an accident that has made him a wheelchair user. The night before his comeback case, he discovers that his sister, Ericka, for whom he has recently become responsible and who has high-functioning autism, has been bio-hacked. Willingly! Nick plans to confront the people who did it—just as soon as he can find them.

Alex, Nick’s fiancé, argues that it’s Ericka who’s responsible, both for the bio-hack and for herself. It’s another strike for Nick when, while recovering from his accident, Alex began to radicalize and has now become, inarguably, an eco-terrorist. The increasing pitch of Alex’s activism threatens a rift between the two men even as he works to strengthen the relationship between Nick and Ericka and also help guide Nick through his final stage of healing – acceptance.

But when Nick finally confronts the bio-hackers, it’s Alex who needs to accept the unexpected and unsettling outcome.”

You’ll experience original tales adapted from historical accounts and folklore, and re-discover eerie literary classics that held WNY in suspense some 150 years ago. This year the Historic Village is overrun with witches of all types – secret and overt, good and evil – as depicted in eight theatrical vignettes.

Anne Currier is a sculptor whose medium is ceramic, and she is the recipient of the 2018 Langley H. Kenzie Award which entitles her to a solo exhibition. In Display, Currier will present sculpture from her Anamorphosis series, plus a new collection of wall-mounted sculptures created specifically for the exhibition, and an installation of tile panels designed this year in collaboration with Boston Valley Terra Cotta in Orchard Park, New York. Opening October 12, 2018 at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at SUNY Buffalo State as part of the museum’s M&T Bank Second Friday event, the exhibition will remain on view through Sunday, March 31, 2019.

Professor emerita of Ceramic Art at Alfred University, the number one ranked ceramic art Master’s program in the country by U.S. News and World Report, Currier was recently named first-place recipient of a 2017 Virginia A. Groot Foundation Grant. Her sculptures are represented in numerous private and public collections, which include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City; Renwick Gallery of the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution; Daum Museum of Contemporary Art in Sedalia, Missouri; Musée des Arts Decoratifs de Montréal; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art, Kyung-ju, South Korea; and Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia.

“Display, the title of the exhibition, echoes the context or intent of an object and how it can shift when placed in varying spaces; but it’s really all one display,” says Anne Currier. “Showing my work as the Langley H. Kenzie Award recipient is part of a series of year-long positive coincidences. The Burchfield
Penney’s support of craft-based media, exhibiting in its Sylvia L. Rosen Gallery and earning a collaborative grant to design tile walls with Boston Valley Terra Cotta is a confluence that transformed 2017 into a miracle for me.”

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”

“Much of my work is derived from human interaction. Imagine making an impression in the sand from sitting on the beach, getting up and seeing the residual shape formed,” describes Currier. “I also remember being inspired watching a couple do Tai Chi, intrigued by the physical call and response of their hand gestures.”

Drawing some inspiration from nature’s palette observed from her Allegany County home and studio, Currier creates surfaces reminiscent of mottled boulders, slate and rust, as well as intangible fog.

Beginning in 2009, Currier has collaborated with Boston Valley Terra Cotta to create unique ceramic tiles for interior walls. Her first commission, La Stanza di Linea, is a 14 x 40-foot wall in the Choral Room in the Miller Performing Arts Center at Alfred University. Incorporating three different tiles to create the pattern, the tiles were mounted to the wall utilizing Boston Valley’s unique clip system. Next, BKSK, the architectural firm that designed 688 Broadway, a 14-unit luxury apartment building in New York City’s NOHO neighborhood, chose one of Currier’s Boston Valley Terra Cotta tiles for installation in the entryway.

Currier’s latest tiles, designed in eight variations, will be displayed in public for the first time on two free-standing walls in the Burchfield Penney exhibition. She utilized both wheel-thrown and hand-built techniques to create undulating waves, articulated in both positive and negative profiles, and coated with uniquely formulated glazes that accentuate the rise and fall in the tiles’ surfaces. One is a semi-opaque iridescent satin white; the other is an opaque charcoal satin that breaks with a bronze sheen.

Celebrate Barktoberfest at Sportsmen’s Tavern and Help Animals in Need

(October 3, 2018, Buffalo, New York) Looking for something fun to do on a Monday night? How about listening to some live music, in a great venue, and help animals at the same time? On Monday, October 22nd Ellicott Small Animal Hospital along with the West Side Pet Clinic will present their 3rd annual Barktoberfest, a benefit for The Pet Emergency Fund. It will be held at the iconic Sportsmen’s Tavern 326 Amherst Street in Buffalo from 6:00-9:00 p.m. and features three fantastic local music acts who have graciously donated their time and talents to play at this event!

The night kicks off with Middlemen. This acoustic duo based in Buffalo got its start in 2013 when Tom Maynor and Dan Nolan, two middle school teachers decided to perform on a regular basis throughout Buffalo and Western New York. While the band started off covering songs by The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Tom Petty and others, their current set list features mostly original material. Their songs are best described as folk-rock with strong harmonies. Middlemen have performed at a variety of area venues with popular local acts such as Bobby Angel, Copper & Gin and Workingman’s Dead.

Middlemen will be followed by Davey O. Equal parts songwriter and storyteller, Davey O. has been recognized on a national level for his past two CD releases with multiple honors among the “best of” lists of several Folk & Roots radio stations. John Apice, of the roots music publication “No Depression” had this to say, “One of these artists who takes a modicum of musical coal and squeezes it hard enough to produce some diamonds is the acclaimed singer-songwriter Davey O. His new ten-song collection “…a bright horizon line,” is a continuation of this concise singer-songwriter’s testament of absorbing story songs.”

Rounding out this great line-up is Black Rock Zydeco. A form of Cajun/Creole dance music from Louisiana, Zydeco incorporates influences like the blues, rock, jazz, and country. Zydeco can be fast or slow, but above all, Zydeco music is about the spirit of community and celebration –an invitation to everyone to get out on the dance floor and dance to the music. Black Rock Zydeco delivers a mix of stand-out original songs and Cajun/Creole favorites from classic and contemporary performers. Vocal harmonies, inventive arrangements, and an energetic stage presence all come together for a musical experience that gets crowds moving!

To add to the festivities event attendees can try their luck in a theme basket raffle, a 50/50 split, and a special drawing for an Apple Watch! A great evening of music and fun for a $10.00 donation! For more information or for tickets, please call 716-852-8276. Tickets will also be available at the door the night of the event.
