SUMMARY:CONCERT | Thunderbird American Indian Dancers
DESCRIPTION:Wallkill River Center for the Arts is pleased to present the THUNDERBIRD AMERICAN INDIAN DANCERS as part of our 2025 music series. \n\nThe Thunderbird American Indian Dancers are the oldest resident Native American dance company in New York. The troupe was founded in 1963 by a group of ten Native American men and women\, all New Yorkers\, who were descended from Mohawk\, Hopi\, Winnebago and San Blas tribes. Some were in school at the time; all were “first generation\,” meaning that their parents had been born on reservations. They founded the troupe to keep alive the traditions\, songs and dances they had learned from their parents\, and added to their repertoire from other Native Americans living in New York and some who were passing through. Within three or four years\, they were traveling throughout the continental U.S.\, expanding and sharing their repertoire and gleaning new dances on the reservations. (A number of Thunderbird members are winners of Fancy Dance contests held on reservations\, where the standard of competition is unmistakably high.) \nSaturday\, September 6\, 5 – 7 pm\nThe Barn at Goshen Green Farm\n3301 NY Route 207\, Goshen\, NY \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public with a suggested donation of $20/person. Registration – at bottom of event page –  is strongly recommended as space is limited. Reserve you spot today! \n_____ \n\n\n\nAbout the performers:\n\n\nMembers of the Thunderbirds range in professions from teachers to hospital patient advocates\, tree surgeons and computer engineers who share a commitment to raising scholarships for young American Indian students.  Over the years\, Thunderbird works\, activities and events have assisted more than 400 students. Original members included: Louis Mofsie\, Josephine Mofsie Tarrant\, Muriel Miguel\, Gloria Miguel\, Marguarite\, Jonathan Williams and others. Swift Eagle from the Santo Domingo Pueblo and others taught the group Native American Indian culture\, dances\, songs passing down information that would have otherwise been lost. \n\nAn Important History: Preserving Native Culture Traditions \nThunderbird American Indian Dancers\, officially incorporated in 1963\, tracing its roots further back\, to a group of teenagers called the Little Eagles.  From the beginning\, keenly aware of the great diversity of tribal groups living in and around the metropolitan area — each with a very distinct cultural background — its members were determined to learn and preserve the songs and dances of their own tribes\, then to branch out and include other tribes.  Their teachers were their fathers\, mothers\, aunts\, uncles\, and cousins. Since its formation\, Louis Mofsie and the Thunderbird American Indian Dancers have visited and performed in almost all fifty states\, where they have learned from a wide variety of Indian peoples. The Thunderbirds pledged to help preserve and perpetuate the culture and traditions of the American Indian people through their songs and dances\, and their ceremonies wherever possible\, and to bring before the general public a more realistic picture and greater understanding of the American Indian people through dance performances\, lectures\, pow wows and workshops.  In fulfilling this pledge\, the Thunderbirds have shared performances and workshops in venues including: The New York World’s Fair\, Lincoln Center\, Museum of Natural History\, Heye Foundation\, Barnard College\, and The National Museum of the American Indian among others.  They have also toured throughout the United States and in Canada\, Israel and Japan. \n  \n\n  \nWRCA’s 2025 concert series has been made possible thanks to the support of: \n \n \n\n

SUMMARY:CONCERT | Steve Gorn: Music for the Healing of Mind & Body
DESCRIPTION:Wallkill River Center for the Arts is pleased to present STEVE GORN: MUSIC FOR THE HEALING OF MIND & BODY as part of our 2025 music series. \n  \nFar more than entertainment\, music is a portal for mind-body synchronization; a conduit for engagement in ritual\, group catharsis\, entertainment and a holder of mythology and history.  Steve Gorn explores The Transformative Power of Music in words and live performance. Drawing on Indian classical music this will be an offering of music for healing of the mind\, body\, and soul. \nSteve plays Bansuri Bamboo Flute and will be joined for this special collaborative concert by Naren Budhakar playing tabla percussion\, dancer Savia Berger\, and a special surprise Guest. \n  \nSunday\, August 17\, 3 – 5 pm\nWRCA Galleries at The Patchett House\n232 Ward Street\, Montgomery\, NY \n  \nThis event is free and open to the public with a suggested donation of $20/person. Registration – at bottom of event page –  is requested but not required.  \n_____ \n\n\n\nAbout the performers:\n\n\nSteve Gorn plays Indian Classical Music and new American Music on the bansuri bamboo flute in concerts and festivals throughout the world. His gurus are the late bansuri master\, Sri Gour Goswami\, of Kolkata\, and Pandit Raghunath Seth of Mumbai\, who he has often accompanied in concert. He has also studied with the late Ustad Z. M. Dagar. \nDuring the past decade Steve has often performed in India\, appearing at Bharat Bhavan in Bhopal\, Triveni Hall in New Delhi\, The Sangeet Research Academy in Kolkata\, NCPA\, and The Nehru Center in Mumbai\, and numerous other venues. His performance with Pandit Ravi Shankar’s disciple\, Barun Kumar Pal\, at Kolkata’s Rama Krishna Mission\, was televised throughout India. In the New York area\, he often performs with Pandit Samir Chatterjee as well as the Darbari Ensemble with sitarist\, Allyn Miner and the sarangi master\, Ramesh Misra. \nSri Gour Goswami introduced Steve to the vocal (gayaki) style of bansuri that was first introduced by the legendary flutist\, Padmabhusan Pannalal Ghosh. As a disciple of this illustrious gharana\, the heart of Steve’s playing reflects an attention to meer and gamak and an ‘old world’ rendering of raga which unfolds timelessly and with attention to the rasa\, or color of each note and melodic contour. \nSince 1996\, Steve has continued his study under the illustrious bansuri master\, Pandit Raghunath Seth\, of Mumbai. Raghunathji’s compositions in numerous ragas\, and his performance style are now a prominent feature of Steve’s performances. \n\n  \nNaren Budhakar was born and brought up in the Indian classical music tradition. He began performing Tabla at a young age. A disciple of Tabla Maestro Ustad Shabbir Nisar\, Naren has played with prominent instrumentalists\, vocalists and dancers including Pandit Birju Maharaj\, Ustad Amjad Ali Khan\, Pandit Jasraj and Shaed Parvez. Naren is co-director of the East-West School of Music at Ananda Ashram and as a faculty member teaches and performs regularly. \n  \n  \nSavia Berger is a dancer\, actor\, choreographer and teacher based in the Catskills where she began her career with Catskill Ballet Theater. Her dance credits include Feld Ballets\, NY\, Eglevsky Ballet\, Basel Ballet (Switzerland)\, Les Danse Donsk (choreographer Mark Allen Davis) and many other independent choreographers. She was featured as an actor in Kismet and performed as a dancer in Brigadoon with the New York City Opera. She went on to study voice and acting and became a member of the original Broadway workshop of Fosse (Director Chet Walker) for a year. \nHer credits as a choreographer and improvisational dancer include Cy Tombly Dreamhouse\, a multi-media evening directed by Marilyn Crispell; collaborations with Peter and Peter (Peter Einhorn\, Peter Wetzler) and dancers; and can be seen improvising with Creative Music Studio’s (founders Karl Berger\, Ingrid Sertso\, Ornette Coleman) Creative Improvisors Orchestra every month in Kingston\, NY. \nSavia has also appeared in industrial shows and on film. She is a second generation classical Pilates instructor certified by Romana Kryzanowska and ran her own Dance and Pilates Studio in New Jersey for 8 years. She is happy to be dancing and teaching back in New York. \n\n  \nWRCA’s 2025 concert series has been made possible thanks to the support of: \n \n\n \nWallkill River Center for the Arts programs are made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
