Journey Through The Andes,The Sylvan Winds at Hispanic Society

The Sylvan Winds return to the Hispanic Society with a musical journey through the Andes. With works by composers from Colombia, to Ecuador, Peru, Chile, and Argentina, there will be something for everyone. Join us for this exciting program!

Hailed by the New York Times for “…its venturesome programming and stylishness of performance,” the Sylvan Winds has appeared under the auspices of Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart Festival and the Caramoor International Music Festival. Chosen to perform at the NY Governor’s Arts Awards, the ensemble has presented imaginative and scintillating programs of chamber works for winds in such places as Town Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, the White Mountains, the Cape Cod and Skaneateles Festivals, Rutgers University’s Summerfest, Amherst College, the Chicago Chamber Music Society and the Sejong Cultural Center in Seoul, Korea. They have recorded for the Koch Classics, CRI/New World, North/South, and Albany record labels, and have enjoyed collaborations with such distinguished artists as Gerard Schwarz, Ransom Wilson, the Guarneri String Quartet, pianist Claude Frank, radio personality Robert Sherman, and actor Louis Zorich.

Morris-Jumel Virtual Parlor Chat – Connect260: A Woman’s House in a Man’s World

In a world where Eliza Jumel had the odds stacked against her in every respect (socially, financially, and more), she actualized the reality she wanted for herself. Eliza, like many other women of her time, was a woman who quietly rebelled against the patriarchal structure of the society she lived in. Join Mansion staff and Margaret Oppenheimer, Eliza Jumel’s biographer, to discuss what it would have been like to be Eliza Jumel and how she would have navigated the constraints of her everyday life to write her own story.

This session of Connect260 will focus on highlighted themes and stories from the exhibition “What the House Saw: 260 Years of Stories from the Morris Jumel Collection and Community’s section on the Antebellum Era.

About Margaret Oppenheimer: Margaret A. Oppenheimer is the author of The Remarkable Rise of Eliza Jumel: A Story of Marriage and Money in the Early Republic. A writer and editor, she holds a Ph.D. in art history from the Institute of Fine Arts, New York University. Besides her biography of Jumel, Oppenheimer has written numerous articles on the fine and decorative arts of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century and authored an exhibition catalogue, The French Portrait: Revolution to Restoration.
