Friday April 30th: A Mid-Summer's Night's Dream

Friday April 30th, MAG is pleased to host the the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival for a second year. This year the play will be the Boscobel troupe's fresh look at A Mid-Summer's Night's Dream.

Thanks to grants from Millbrook Educational Foundation and Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, the troupe will be presenting a workshop for the Millbrook HS students during the week. MAG is presenting the play for the entire community Friday Night.

The play is appropriate for the entire family. Last year's Macbeth will be hard to beat, as the opening scene with the witches as kabuki characters was fantastic. We're excited to see what new insight the troupe has in store this year.

- Friday April 30th, 7:30

- Millbrook High School Auditorium
- $10/Adult. Children & Seniors Free.

This Friday, March 26: the Yale University ALLEY CATS

A great way to greet spring is with a March concert: The Millbrook Arts Group is pleased to present the Yale Alley Cats, one of the nation's most renowned collegiate a cappella groups. Also performing will be the Madrigals, Millbrook high school's own a cappella group.

The Alley Cats are providing a workshop for the high school choral groups earlier on Friday thanks to a grant from the Millbrook Educational Foundation.

As one of the nation's most renowned collegiate a cappella groups, the Yale Alley Cats have been spreading music around the world since 1943. The group's roots are in jazz, but the repertoire has grown to include Motown, pop, classical, and many more genres. The quality of the arrangements, all written by former and current Cats, sets the group apart.

Friday 7:00 Millbrook Auditorium
Tickets are $10 for adults. Students and Seniors are free.

Holiday Concert... CANCELLED

Good news, the warm weather has turned to snow! Just the thing we need to get into the holiday spirit.

Bad News... we need to cancel tonight's concert, as we had so many small children participating. (A school on a hill is good for sledding, but not for walking...).

So, spend tonight frolicking in the snow with your kids!

Happy Holidays from MAG.

Sat Sept 12 - STOLEN HEART at Community Day

Don't forget, this last concert of the season is at 5:00 at the village green!

This Saturday is our annual end-of-season concert featuring Stolen Heart. This is always an enjoyable concert: spend the day having fun at the Millbrook Community Day (10:00-2:00) and then head to the village green for the Fire Dept's chicken dinner fund raiser and concert at 5:00.

Stolen Heart, a Millbrook favorite, is known for its unique approach to country music. With backgrounds in rock and roll, classical, swing, country, and jazz, the members create a contemporary country sound while honoring all phases and sounds in American Country music history.

Sat Aug 29: SHADOW CREEK BAND (Rain-Rain.. STAY AWAY!)

Let's all hope for a strong gust of wind to blow this tropical storm back out to sea! Cause we want to see SHADOW CREEK this saturday night. SHADOW CREEK is a four piece Country and Classic Rock Dance Band featuring Jim McDermott (Lead Guitar), Bruce Carlson (Pedal Steel Guitar), Alan Rapp (Drums) and Greg Chasse (Bass Guitar). Charlie Staxx, keyboard player from the Phantoms, will be sitting in on Saturday's concert.

The fun and energy of this band is very contagious. You can’t help but tap your feet and make your way to the dance floor.

So let's all face East, and huff and puff this storm back out to sea! ... and should that fail, come back to this site for concert updates.

Sat Aug 15: Vickie Russell

MAG is thrilled to have Vickie Russell back again this summer. Last year's concert was a perfect Millbrook evening; fantastic weather, a beautiful moon and great music. Let's all pray for good weather! http://www.vickierussell.com/

Vickie Russell, touring singer/songwriter based in New Paltz, NY, performs her stunningly original heartfelt songs on keyboard and guitar. With influences from Bach and Chopin to Carol King, Elton John and Sting, Russell will pull you into her world of love, laughter and hope. This award winning versatile artist keeps audiences enthralled whether she's taking things slow on painfully honest pop ballads such as Walk Away and Welcome Home, wailing the blues on Manville, or sharing a funny true life story through a country tune like Next.

"Concertgoers have enjoyed her as a main act as well as when opening for names like the 10,000 Maniacs, Donovan, Rick Danko, Leon Russell, Richie Havens, Tuck and Patti, Cris Williamson, Full Frontal Folk, David Wilcox, Jeffrey Gaines, Peter Mayer, Groovelily, John Flynn, Chris Smither, Cheryl Wheeler, Lesley Gore and Jill Sobule. Playing throughout the USA, Europe, Japan and in her native New York hotspots, Vickie Russell is winning the hearts of audiences around the world."
