May Events

2024 marks the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the New York State Park system, and we are celebrating it locally! Robert H. Treman State Park itself was opened to the public a century ago, and Buttermilk Falls State Park was established in 1924 as well.

The Friends of Robert H. Treman State Park (Tremanparkfriends.org) have worked with Finger Lakes State Parks education/interpretation staff to produce exhibits about state parks in Tompkins County and the Finger Lakes Region in the atrium of the Tompkins Center for History and Culture (tompkins-center.net) on the Ithaca Commons. Come on down and explore the displays and short videos, including a life-sized image of Robert H. Treman, benefactor and leader in the creation of our state parks in Tompkins County and throughout the region, as well as other local parks and preserves. We take a brief tour of the exhibits in this episode (#260) of Walk in the Park (Walkinthepark.tv)

Also on May 4, hundreds of volunteers across the state pitched in on “I Love My Park Day” to help prepare parks for this season and for generations to come. We go to Robert H. Treman State Park to see what was happening there, including interviews with Park Supervisor Cassie Lovelace, Park Manager Jim Brophy, and Finger Lakes State Park Regional Director Fred Bonn. I Love My Park Day is coordinated by Parks & Trails NY (ptny.org).

Walk in the Park is a non-commercial, public access, cable TV series shown on channel 13 in the Ithaca, NY area. Owl Gorge Productions (Owlgorge.com) produces Walk in the Park as a public service at PEGASYS Community Media Center (Pegasys.webstarts.com). Owl Gorge Productions is a Finger Lakes Tourism Alliance partner.

      Outdoor Summer Saturday Yoga at Hunt Country will be back in session for the 2024 summer season! 

      Start your Saturdays this summer with Yoga instructor Jan Corning.

      Yoga in our scerene vineyard setting is the perfect way to treat yourself and rejuvinate for the start of the weekend. 

About the Instructor, Jan Corning:

Jan received her certification from Ohra Studios in Bedford, NY in 2019 after practicing Yoga for ten years.  She teaches a fitness based vinyasa flow at a level half.  So, there is some challenge, but modifications are always offered.  More advanced positions are rarely included in Jans class because she likes to keep the asanas available to everyone.  She focusses on building strength, while increasing flexibility, and also focusing as always, on the breath.  Her goal when teaching is to have the students feel as if they worked at something, and accomplished it!   

$15 per guest: Arrive 10 - 15 minutes early to sign in and pay.

Beethoven Op. 76, “Harp”
Shostakovich Piano Trio No. 2
Georges Antoines Piano Quartet

Music making can be a balm, offering respite among sorrow and strife, and giving artists a way of expressing their pain or reacting to their circumstances. In music, composers may celebrate victories, lament the loss of friends, or find the metaphorical harmony and peace that eludes the larger world. Join resident GMF artists for an exploration of three composers whose lives and works were shaped by their experience of conflict. Written during the Napoleonic wars, Beethoven’s “Harp” Quartet is a sparkling, lyrical reminder of joy, while Shostakovich’s Piano Trio, written as a memorial and replete with a danse macabre, dwells upon the tragic. Georges Antoine’s Piano Quartet, emerging from the trenches of World War I, is a passionate testament to a musical career cut short.
