SLEEPERS LISTENING CLUB WITH PETER SUBERS
Music from Salem
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Cantata simply means sung piece. Starting with a hundred-year-old hymn tune and a two-thousand-year-old story, J.S. Bach spun his Cantata 140 into pure gold. One of his best known and loved, in English: Sleepers, wake! is well worth looking at on its own. The longest of its movements lasts barely 10 minutes, yet into seven movements Bach packs the height and depth of his technical skill, his joy, passion and spirituality. From the rich tapestry of the initial chorus, through two dramatic duets and the sweeping serenity of its middle movement (one of Bach Greatest Hits), to the majesty of its final chorale, this piece is a treasure indeed. (We will not leave out the two fascinating recitatives either!) No musical background necessary, just come and enjoy.
Cost: $10. Please pre-register at www.hubbardhall.org or 518.677.2495 by Friday, February 24. Walk-ins welcome.
Instructor Peter Subers has loved singing since his mother taught him to sing hymns in two-part harmony over the dinner dishes. He is regular baritone soloist for First Church (Reformed) in Albany and recently sang as soloist with the choir of St. Peter Episcopal Church, Albany, in performances of Handel Messiah and Bach St. John Passion.

EAGLE WATCH WITH BATTENKILL CONSERVANCY
Battenkill Conservancy
10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Saturday March 3rd, 2012 meet with Battenkill Conservancy Board members and our excellent guide Ron Renoni for his very popular Eagle watch excursion. Ron will offer anyone interested an opportunity to look for Eagles focusing in specific areas in the Battenkill Valley and near the Hudson River. Plan to meet at the Kmart shopping center's parking lot in Greenwich, NY at 10:00 am where we can organize car pooling to nearby observation sites.
Dress in warm non-cotton layers and bring binoculars or scopes if you have them, but if not, many of the participants don't mind sharing theirs. You might also want to bring non-alcoholic beverages to keep hydrated. This Battenkill Conservancy's outing, which is equally enjoyable for children and adults, is free of charge but donations in any amount are most welcomed. The outing will last approximately 2 hours and will convene again at the parking lot.
