Family Art Project: Musical Magic

Meet at Wave Hill House
Let’s make music! A breeze through the trees, the hoot of an owl, rain falling on a pond—nature is full of beautiful sounds. We’ll discover the music of the natural world before making and decorating our very own set of playable pipes to serenade our friends.
Registration not required.

Armor Hall
With a welcoming sound that embraces cumbia, vallenato, rancheras, jazz and American pop, singer-songwriter Alea moves her audiences with messages of the spirit, calls for social change and free-flowing love. Originally from La Guajira, Colombia, Alea’s performance encompasses an entire generation of ethno-futuristic and folkloric music accentuated by buttery vocals, deep-rooted grooves and uplifting guitar. Alea’s in-person performances are powerful encounters of the spirit, passionate travelogues that link downtown New York to a tropical Colombian cantina.
The concert begins at 2PM and lasts approximately one hour without intermission. Ages 8 and older welcome with an adult.

Wave Hill House
Matt Mattus is a creative who cannot stop growing. With an inherent curiosity that challenges conventional wisdom and seeks out the obscure, Matt experiments with classic and current horticultural methods to find which has merit and which misleads. His research has also identified “secret recipes” that could improve the results of what you’re growing in your own garden. Matt will discuss seed-sown annuals, delphiniums from cuttings, demystifying South African bulbs and cyclamen, and more. His presentations are known for a combination of inspirational beauty, useful content and humor, so you might want to come with a notebook! A reception with light refreshments will follow this talk at Wave Hill, the final lecture in the 2023 series.
Registration required, online or by calling 718.549.3200 x251.
