Eric Vloeimans & Will Holshouser

An adventurous trumpet and accordion duo, Eric and Will play evocative original compositions that bring together sounds from jazz, classical and folk music: rich harmonies, catchy melodies, and energetic improvising span the range from emotional to fun. These these two virtuoso musicians use the intimacy of the duo setting to full effect, taking listeners on a journey through a variety of musical landscapes. Along the way, the trumpet and accordion point to a variety of cultural influences, distilled by these two composer/improvisers into a thrilling set of music.

Trumpeter Eric Vloeimans is one of the best-known musicians in the Netherlands, having won six Edison awards (the “Dutch Grammy”) for his recordings. He is in constant demand as a bandleader and guest soloist and has appeared all over the world with groups ranging from the Mercer Ellington Orchestra to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, as well as his own bands.Recently, he was invited by the king of the Netherlands to play a concert for a state visit to the Czech Republic. Will Holshouser is a veteran of the New York music scene and is one of the most widely respected accordionists in the US. He has toured and recorded with many artists including Regina Carter, David Krakauer, and Antony & the Johnsons. Three albums of his own music have been released by the Portuguese label Clean Feed. The duo recorded their first album, Eric & Will, in the US in 2017. After a pandemic pause, their latest album Two for the Road (V-flow/Challenge Jazz) was recorded live on tour in the Netherlands in 2021. In 2022, they toured to thirteen cities in the U.S.

“An accordion and a trumpet. They brought a sold-out house . . . to ecstasy.”

- Rinus Van Der Heijden, JazzNu (Netherlands)

“Unforgettably unclassifiable ... expressive and uncategorizable chamber music in a jazz setting.” - Mel Minter, Musically Speaking blog (USA)

“With its beauty and eclectic influences ... a CD release from their 2021 concert tour in the Netherlands is a “must” purchase.” * * * * *

- Jeff Krow, Audiophile Audition (USA)

Please support our sponsors for this event; we would not be here without them. Find them, chat with them, buy their goods, and come back again.

Susan Henry: Even though she doesn’t live here now she still donates. We love her; go give her a hug and tell her to come back home.

Rebecca and Richard Bell. They come to every event they can at the hall, and always say, “how can we help?” Rebecca makes us soup when we’ve had it with cooking. They are awesome.

ML Geiger is our next door neighbor and lighting designer. In her spare time she weaves, knits, and offers up help whenever we ask. What a place West Fulton is to have the likes of her!

Sylvia Buccelli is an absolute dream of a pianist and long time colleague. Even though she is in Berlin for this concert she offered up a donation to make this night happen. If you find her give her a hug.

Ellen and J.Ed are actors and teachers with long careers in the theater and luckily ended up as neighbors. When we carol in WF at Christmas time they pull out the stops and put on a feast by the fire. If you’re lucky you’ll find them for a chat.

Linda LaViolette just isn’t in WF enough and we can’t get enough of her. She breezes in, drops idea bombs for terrific events, and then she’s off to other parts of the world. Linda, come back !

Joe Garry always takes an interest in whatever is going on here at the hall. He and his late husband, Barry, religiously attended the turkey suppers here where they have, “turkey supper friends; of course we’ll be there!” Give him a hug for us.

NorthWinds

Bassoon Ensemble

A gaggle of geese, a school of fish, a murder of crows -- a monsoon of bassoons?

The bassoonists of NorthWinds have found a cheerful and spirited platform for this unsung bass wind pipe. The ensemble was formed in 2017 with the idea that all music is created equal -- except in a bassoon ensemble, which is more equal than others.  These players bring out the jaunty, the moody, the serene, and the serious nature of the instrument with an easygoing and open style. The enthusiasm is infectious as the group performs and chats with the audience. What’s a double reed?  You “crow” a reed?  Wait, it’s eight feet long?  Is a contrabassoon really eighteen feet long? Hold on -- is that an accordion up there?  You might just get lucky with this group and hear something completely unexpected.

As for credentials: the group has one PhD, five graduate degrees, and years of study with prestigious musicians, including NY Phil players. One of us has even left behind a distinguished career as an oboist and has come to see the light as a bassoonist.  Between the group we have toured Europe, performed solos with major orchestras, been part of Grammy nominated ensembles, and of course, trekked through the work-a-day world of the freelance musician. What’s really needed is a bit more fun now; and here it is.

NorthWinds Ensemble is especially well suited to intimate settings like THE HALL at Panther Creek Arts where the audience and performers have a moment to exchange thoughts and listen to this lesser known beauty of the orchestral winds.

Bring a part of the past home with home; these prints are for sale and a portion of each sale goes to Panther Creek Arts. Prices are reasonable, and these artists sometimes find creative ways of exchanging goods for services.

Susan Daley & Steve Gross are photographic based artists who live in New York City. They are the authors of 12 books & have had numerous gallery exhibitions, including the OK Harris Gallery of Soho. Their work examines historically architecture and landscape design, as well as the vernacular buildings found throughout America. In 2020, the Fenimore Art Museum of Cooperstown will exhibit a series of their photos entitled “Blue Gardens.”

“By starkly juxtaposing the forces of neglect and the airy ghosts of weather, these arresting

photographs add a new tension to our ancient fascinations with history, time, nature, and decay.”

--Billy Collins

Print maker, Mary Louise Kalin shows her work; another chance to bring home an original work. Bring your checkbook and check them out.

Since graduating with a B.F.A. from Rhode Island School of Design, Kalin has worked as a graphic designer and gallery director while maintaining a printmaking studio in New Hampshire from 1982-1990, and from 1998 through the present in Tivoli, NY. Her prints are in numerous corporate and private collections. She is a current member of Longyear Gallery in Margaretville, NY.

When talking about her art practice, she says, "Making art has everything to do with growing up in the Catskill Mountains and on Cape Cod. I was an outside child. We walked miles up through cow pastures, made rooms in the woods, and castles and drawings in the sand in the summer. The layers, the patterns and colors of my natural surroundings are the source for my art. My reverence for nature and the environment is embedded in my images.”

Silent Auction of Very Useful Things including gas cards, oil changes, dumpsters, dinners, windows, haunted walks through abandoned cemeteries. And much more!

I feel like we're actually a very modern band, just on an alternate timeline."

A Silent Auction of Very Practical Items

This Silent Auction of very practical items is open to all - no admission charge, just bring your checkbooks.  The auction will  benefit Panther Creek Arts and the exceptional programming it brings to West Fulton and Schoharie County.

Who doesn't need a dumpster, an oil change, a new hubcap, or a gift certificate to the thrift store?   And who doesn't want more of what's coming out of Panther Creek Arts!  Bid high to help the cause of Panther Creek Arts. We can't do it without you.

Our Sponsors make these events happen, please support them!

This event is made possible in part with public funds from the Decentralization Program of the NYS Council on the Arts, administered in Schoharie County by the Greene County Council on the Arts through the Community Arts Grants program.
