Entertainment
Two acclaimed musicians of the American acoustic scene. With their comfortable sense of fun and their love of music, they make each concert a musical journey—sometimes spanning two continents and two centuries. Their incomparable warmth and wit—coupled with consummate musicianship—have delighted audiences worldwide. It's immediately apparent why Jay and Molly concerts warm the heart, feed the soul, and appeal to all ages—a perfect fit for the Stream Celebration!
Mutual Strangers: Henry Hudson and the River that Discovered Him Animated theater performance by Arm of the Sea For over twenty years Arm-of-the-Sea has been developing a style of magical realism that marries the mythic and the everyday, humanity and the earth, visual arts and natural science, poetry and politics.
