A8 highlights Not Your Typical Shakespeare Festival


For the fourth year, New Rochelle Council for the Arts (NRCA) presents the Sound Shore Shakespeare Festival, a multimedia event focused on the time- less works of the Bard of Avon. Taking place from April 3 through May 15, the festival offers a wide range of programming that includes film, musical performances and youth workshops.


Sound Shore Chorale will woo its audience with its Serenade in Song: Shakespeare Set to Music performance, highlighting scenes from operas and musicals from Shakespeare’s time to our own. An evening of creative wordplay at Recologie will encourage audience members to share origi- nal poetry and prose. Ajkun Ballet will unveil the world premiere of its A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Popular film adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays will screen on Thursdays, peaking with a screening of silent film Cymbeline, complete with live musical accompaniment.


In celebration of Shakespeare’s 450th birthday, NRCA is also taking a spe- cial focus this year on exposing young people to Shakespeare’s work by bringing in two traveling theater groups to conduct workshops for middle- and high-schoolers and Boys and Girls Club of New Rochelle.

Aspects: Two Visions in Black and White On Gypsy Row, Girls by Rita Baunok


Two photographers at Mamaroneck Artists Guild are using black and white photogra- phy to share their separate and unique perspectives of distinct locales and the inhabitants who live in them. On view through April 26, Aspects: Two Visions in Black and White, features Rita


Baunok’s Gypsy Row and Ruth Raskin’s Road Trip: New Mexico series. Rita Baunok’s work provides viewers with a glimpse into the world of the fascinating population of Hungarian Gypsies who mostly still live seg- regated in the Gypsy Row section of the Hungarian town of Olcsvaapti. Ruth Raskin used thirteen rolls of film to depict 14 days and more than 1,500 miles of travelling to capture what she calls “the land of enchant- ment.” For more info, visit: www.mamaroneckartistsguild.com.

Unseen Photographs of Iconic Musicians on Display in White Plains


White Plains Public Library aims to bring some “Satisfaction” to its viewers with Unseen Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Clapton and Other Photographs, 1967-76, a new exhibition on view in its art gallery. Photographer Tapani Talo, a White Plains resident, is a former sound engineer for several iconic rock and roll bands of the 1970s. Talo had inside access to rare performances – the


doting fans, elaborate lights, and intensity theatrics of the performers – which he shares in never-before-exhibited photographs. Visitors can see favorite musicians up-close and on-stage in both vibrant color and black and white images through April 27. For more info, visit: www.whiteplain- slibrary.org/gallery-and-exhibits.
