November

Something Good in the World school at Hilltop Hanover Farm will host the next  Sounds Good — Music for Families workshop Saturday, Nov. 21, from 6 to 8 p.m.

sgitw musicAt these monthly events, professionals and volunteers come and share their love of music, storytelling and dance, each time celebrating a different culture.

This month’s workshop is “Energy of Youth!”, featuring  classical, traditional, folk and original music. The benefit concert will be performed by local musicians, ages 10 to 22, including Sophia Steger (violin), Eugene Bender (fiddle), Maya and Hari Rau-Murthy (classical Indian dance and drum), Erika Nininger (voice, guitar, piano) and Veronica Stocker (voice, piano).

Proceeds from the event go to support the sustainable living and alternative energy projects of Something Good in the World. In the past the school has built a seesaw-powered water pump and a bicycle that generates electricity with the proceeds from past concerts. This year, donations will help to build a wind power project at the farm.

Saturday’s concert has a $25 suggested donation for adults, $10 for students, $5 for children under 12. For more information, call 914-217-9249 or e-mail at somethinggooditw@aol.com.

The school will also host its annual Holidy Craft Fair Saturday, benefiting its educational programs and projects. There will be a bake sale, organic fruit smoothies, face-painting, craft activities for children, music, a children’s raffle, a silent auction, and plenty of time to shop, eat, talk, and enjoy the beauty of the Farm.

Some of the original art and crafts will include: handmade bowls from local hardwoods, organic essential oils, herbal soaps and lotions, jewelry, toys, clothing, ornaments, greeting cards, books, embroidery, basketry, weaving and knitting.

The craft fair runs from noon to 5 p.m.
