Presented as part of the Ithaca Fringe Festival celebrating the legendary Cayuga Lake cryptid, The Ballad of Old Greeny is an original chamber opera enacted by a pair of venerable bards who roamed these lands when Old Greeny was still, well, Young Greeny!

With fifes, fiddles, and a motley hodgepodge of other obsolescent tools to help tell the tale, local band Breakfast Calculus will regale anyone foolish enough to listen with the extremely factual origin story of our beloved lake creature.

Performance with Cornell University’s Ensemble X.

This program is the first in a series of tributes to the far-reaching influence of Nadia Boulanger, one of the 20th century’s most legendary music pedagogues. From Thea Musgrave’s dynamic Points of View to Aaron Copland’s lyrical Appalachian Spring, we hear the imprint of her guidance—clarity, structure, and emotional truth. Mozart’s Horn Concerto reflects the ideals Boulanger championed, searching in tradition the possible paths for novel expressions.

Evolving his global ‘Audience Choir’ phenomenon into an orchestral one, fans who are (i) legal residents of the 50 U.S. and D.C., (ii) eighteen (18) years of age or older, and (iii) have the unrestricted right to work in the U.S. or have employment authorization in the U.S., were invited to apply for a position in the audience-generated ensemble. 62 musicians have been selected to perform Jacob’s original compositions live on stage at San Francisco’s legendary Davies Symphony Hall on October 27, under the baton of his mother and esteemed conductor, Suzie Collier.
