We are pleased to announce the winner of the 2012 photo contest Veryl Witmer!!!

Veryl Witmer lives and works in New York City.  As an Upper Westside resident of over 20 years he enjoys being close to Central Park and all that it offers.  Growing up on a Pennsylvania family farm, he has an innate appreciation of nature, agriculture, and gardening.  He enjoyed early success with photography in high school.  Before moving to New York, employment as a darkroom technician further enhanced his photographic technique.  He took up photography again in 2004 with the advent of digital imaging.  He is an enthusiastic nature photographer, especially of birds and is often in Central Park capturing images, particularly during migration.  Most notably, he published photos he took of the coyote in Central Park in February 2010.

His work can be seen at www.verylwitmer.com.

Come celebrate the Red, White, and Blue …

The New York Consort of Viols presents “Hearts and Flowers” featuring Amy Bartram, soprano. at 7 pm on Thursday, June 21st, 2012.
Based in the Upper West Side, the Consort is one  of the first groups to revive and popularize the vast repertoire of songs and instrumental music from the Elizabethan age to the present written for the family of string instruments that helped bring music into the lives of people of all parts of society. This concert will feature songs and instrumental pieces that feature popular tunes and poetic subjects not heard in the church music of earlier times.
