Cocktails & Stories in the Raven’s Nest
A haunting blend of literature and libations
This fall, professional storytellers bring to life the “powerful graphic effect” that Washington Irving once praised in Edgar Allan Poe’s writing, with haunting renditions of The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat, and The Masque of the Red Death. Each tale is paired with a complementary cocktail or mocktail designed to capture the spirit of the story.
The evening begins in the Library, where visitors enjoy their first drink while standing among the shelves, listening to a creepy tale. From there, the experience deepens in an intimate theater setting, with three more of Poe’s dark masterpieces performed in turn, as those gathered sip drinks, nibble biscotti, and savor a piece of fine chocolate—indulgences to savor in the night’s shadows.
RECOMMENDED FOR AGES 14+.
General Admission: $60

Friends of Music Concerts’ Season Opens with Jeremy Denk and the Isidore Quartet September 20
Dates: September 20 7:30 PM Location: Sleepy Hollow High School
Friends of Music Concerts’ (FOMC), which presents the finest in classical chamber music, opens its 2025-26 season with acclaimed pianist Jeremy Denk and the Isidore String Quartet on Saturday, Sept. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Sleepy Hollow High School’s Kusel Auditorium, Sleepy Hollow.
A subscription to the seven-concert season is $210 ($30 per ticket), a FlexSub of four admissions good at any concert is $35 per ticket and single concert tickets are $40.
In this season, dubbed “Masters and Trailblazers,” both descriptions apply to Denk and the Isidore Quartet. Denk’s first recording in 2012 illuminated the traditional (Beethoven) and the modern (Ligeti) and he’s never stopped exploring new musical worlds along with the classic repertoire.
A year later, his writing on music was cited when he received a MacArthur Fellowship. Later, his memoir “Every Good Boy Does Fine” was a New York Times bestseller. He is a pianist “you want to hear no matter what he performs,” according to the New York Times.
Since forming in 2019, the Isidore Quartet won the 14th Banff International String Quartet Competition and have recently partnered with Denk in several concerts. The quartet possesses “a focus and command beyond their years,” according to Violinist.com. They are: violinists Adrian Steele and Phoenix Avalon, violist Devin Moore, and cellist Joshua McClendon.
At this concert, Denk will perform Sonata in E minor, Op. 90 and Sonata in A-flat, Op. 110 by Beethoven, and Four Pieces, Op. 119 by Brahms. Denk and the Isidore Quartet will perform Piano Quintet in F minor, Op. 34 by Brahms. This concert is generously sponsored, in part, by White and Williams LLP.
All season performances are scheduled to take place at Sleepy Hollow High School’s Kusel Auditorium, 210 North Broadway, Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. and audience members are invited to a reception after each concert to mingle and meet the artists.
The remainder of the season’s concerts will take place on Sunday afternoons at 3 p.m.

Warner Library Presents:
On June 15, 1904, more than a thousand people boarded a boat in lower Manhattan heading for a church picnic on Long Island — only 321 of them would return. How could a small fire onboard result in one of New York City’s greatest losses of life? And why did it result in an exodus of residents from today’s East Village? It’s time to uncover a catastrophe largely forgotten by the general public, and the few landmarks that honor this terrible day.
Led by licensed tour guide and General Slocum researcher Dave Gardner, this presentation will explore the full story behind the 1904 sinking of the General Slocum, and its profound impact on New York Harbor, the ferry industry, and New York City for decades to come.
Hosted on Zoom. Free and open to all

Hudson River Museum Presents:Lens on the Hudson:Photographs by Joseph Squillante.
Dates/Times: May 9-October 19; Wednesday–Friday, 12–5pm
Saturday & Sunday, 11am–5pm
First Friday of each month, 5–8pm FREE Location: 511 Warburton Ave, Yonkers
For fifty years, Joseph Squillante has captured the Hudson River’s magnificence, producing thousands of evocative photographs that offer a lens into the past and present of this historic waterway. While his portfolio includes portraiture, still life, and abstraction, he is best known for his romantic landscapes along the Hudson’s 315 miles. Squillante describes his mission as “raising awareness of the beauty of the Hudson River through photography,” documenting the river’s ever-changing light, seasons, and weather, from its source at Lake Tear of the Clouds in the Adirondacks to its mouth at New York City.
This exhibition celebrates Squillante’s golden anniversary by highlighting his intersection with the environmental movements that gained momentum along the river in the 1970s and continue today. As protests escalated against industrial development that scarred the shoreline and polluted the waters, Squillante grounded his work in visual storytelling—illustrating both the river’s splendor and the efforts to protect it. He has sailed aboard the Clearwater sloop, photographed singer-activist Pete Seeger, documented the PCB dredging operations, and chronicled eagle banding and monitoring programs that contributed to the species’ resurgence in the mid-Hudson Valley. “As photography stops time,” he states, “it has an inherent ability to preserve moments for posterity, documenting our traditions and thereby protecting our future.”
A Life Member of the American Society of Media Photographers, Squillante is also on the teaching artist roster of ArtsWestchester. His work is held in the collections of the New York Historical, the Museum of the City of New York, the Albany Institute of History & Art, the New York State Museum, and the Hudson River Museum. Far from slowing down, he continues to explore the Hudson’s grandeur, hiking through the Highlands to shoot panoramic vistas and joining Riverkeeper boat captains on the water. His images immerse us in the river’s natural sublimity while revealing the intricate connections between people, animals, and this vital waterway.
This exhibition is supported in part by Nicholas and Shelley Robinson.
Exhibitions are made possible by assistance provided by the County of Westchester.
Admission for Seniors: $9
