Dyckman Farmhouse – Inwood Haven: Making Melodies of Inwood (Family Workshop)

What does Inwood sound like?

What music comes to mind when you think of Inwood?

Join us for a musical family workshop for youth and adults! Adults and kids ages 5-18 are invited to collaborate on a community composition, guided by Teaching Artist and composer Evelyn Petcher Brandes and Leadlights Ensemble violist Arthur Dibble.

Come learn how to use flashcards, boomwhackers, and bells to create melodies and rhythms inspired by our Inwood neighborhood. Your words, melodies, and ideas shared in this workshop will come to life in Ms.Brandes’ brand-new musical composition called “Inwood Haven,” premiering this September on our very own back porch!

Any accompanying adult is considered a participant of this program. Accompanying adults and youth must reserve a ticket. Participants may be photographed during this workshop and will be asked to sign a media release form.

Dyckman Farmhouse Museum

Dyckman Farmhouse Museum tells the story of rural Northern Manhattan, a landscape and a lifestyle that disappeared in the transformation from farming community to urban neighborhood.

Through the story of the Dyckman family and farm the museum explores life in early 19th century rural Manhattan and the preservation of that memory in the early 20th century. During the city period, 1915-1916, the neighborhood was transforming and the Dyckman sisters responded by saving the farmhouse and creating the museum.
