One set at 8:00pm:

Joy Askew and Pulse present Songs from the Hudson River. Pulse is a New
York-based composers' federation dedicated to music that bursts through
categories, unconstrained by convention.

Members Joseph C Phillips,
Darcy James Argue, Jamie Begian, JC Sanford, Joshua Shneider and Yumiko
Sunami have chosen as their latest project a song cycle in honor of the
Hudson River Quadricentennial Celebration going on throughout 2009.

Songs from the Hudson River features singer Joy Askew with a 6-person
Pulse chamber ensemble in a dynamic melding of singer-songwriter and
classical chamber music sensibilities. Each original song is inspired
by historical, fictional, and contemporary life and communities on and
around the Hudson River. Joy Askew is an accomplished singer-songwriter
who has performed with Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Joe Jackson,
Jack Bruce and others, and also leads her own band.
