Saturday, January 12: Nature Presentation:
Keeping Wildlife Wild: Unlike
domesticated creatures, wild animals
do NOT make good pets, their
instinctive behavior making them
dangerous and unpredictable to untrained
caretakers. And captive animals
released back into the wild by
well-meaning animal-lovers may inadvertently
harm local wildlife and
ecosystems. At this nature presentation
by wild-animal experts from the
Hudson Highlands Nature Museum,
fi nd out why following the rule “If you
care…leave them there” is the right
way to enjoy wildlife. Museum educators
share live animals from their collection
to educate us all at this fun and
informative nature program. Ages
eight and older welcome with an adult.
Free with admission to the grounds.

Sunday, January 13: Concert: Argus
String Quartet Performs Works by
Cerrone, Seo, Theofanidis and Hearne:
Argus is dedicated to reinvigorating
the audience-performer relationship
through innovative concerts and diverse
repertoire: connecting with and
building up a community of engaged
listeners is at the core of the quartet’s
mission. T
he Quartet also believes that today’s
ensembles can honor the storied chamber
music traditions of our past while
forging a new path forward. In that
spirit, their repertoire includes not just
staples of the chamber music canon but
also a large number of pieces by living
composers. Winner of a 2015 Rome Prize
and a fi nalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize,
the Brooklyn-based composer Christopher
Cerrone is internationally acclaimed
for compositions which range
from opera and orchestral to chamber
music and electronic. Throughout, his
music is characterized by a subtle handling
of timbre and resonance, a deep
literary fl uency, and a fl air for multimedia
collaborations. Ticket Prices:
Adults: $28 (includes admission to the
grounds). Wave Hill members 10% discount;
12 children ages 8 to 18, unless
otherwise noted.
