  • Contribution of Lake-Effect Snow to the Catskill Mountains Snowpack
    74th EASTERN SNOW CONFERENCE Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA 2017 Contribution of Lake-Effect Snow to the Catskill Mountains Snowpack DOROTHY K. HALL,1,2 NICOLO E. DIGIROLAMO,3 ALLAN FREI4 ABSTRACT Meltwater from snow that falls in the Catskill Mountains in southern New York contributes to reservoirs that supply drinking water to approximately nine million people in New York City. Using the NOAA National Ice Center’s Interactive Multisensor Snow and Ice Mapping System (IMS) 4km snow maps, we have identified at least 32 lake-effect (LE) storms emanating from Lake Erie and/or Lake Ontario that deposited snow in the Catskill/Delaware Watershed in the Catskill Mountains of southern New York State between 2004 and 2017. This represents a large underestimate of the contribution of LE snow to the Catskills snowpack because many of the LE snowstorms are not visible in the IMS snow maps when they travel over snow-covered terrain. Most of the LE snowstorms that we identified originate from Lake Ontario but quite a few originate from both Erie and Ontario, and a few from Lake Erie alone. Using satellite, meteorological and reanalysis data we identify conditions that contributed to LE snowfall in the Catskills. Clear skies following some of the storms permitted measurement of the extent of snow cover in the watershed using multiple satellite sensors. IMS maps tend to overestimate the extent of snow compared to MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and Landsat- derived snow-cover extent maps. Using this combination of satellite and meteorological data, we can begin to quantify the important contribution of LE snow to the Catskills Mountain snowpack.

    RICHARD EINHORN COMPOSER Richard Einhorn's unique music has been described as "hauntingly beautiful,” "sensational,” and "overwhelming in its emotional power.” He has become one of a small handful of living composers who not only reaches a large worldwide audience but whose music receives widespread critical praise for its integrity, emotional depth, and craft. In February 2009, Einhorn premiered The Origin, an opera/oratorio based on the work and life of Charles Darwin. Performed to packed houses and standing ovations, the Syracuse Post-Standard wrote, “Einhorn has created an imaginative work layered with profound insight…” Einhorn's "opera with silent film,” Voices of Light, has been hailed in reviews as "a great masterpiece of contemporary music" and "a work of meticulous genius.” After selling out its New York City premiere engagements at the Brooklyn Academy of Music Next Wave Festival, Voices of Light has had over 150 performances throughout the US and the world including sold- out performances at Avery Fisher Hall; the Kennedy Center and Wolf Trap with the National Symphony; the Cabrillo Festival with Marin Alsop; the Sydney Opera House in Australia and during two extremely successful national tours featuring the medieval vocal group Anonymous 4. The Sony Classical CD of Voices of Light was a Billboard classical bestseller, earning Einhorn the distinction of being one of only a few composers to have made "the charts." Voices of Light has attracted national media attention including articles in the Wall Street Journal, segments on All Things Considered and Performance Today, and an extended profile on CBS television network's magazine show, CBS Sunday Morning.

  • Annual Report 2016
    Thank you to everyone who helped the Albany Institute of History & Art to commemorate a significant milestone---the museum’s 225th anniversary. We celebrated the year in style with exhibitions ranging from “Masterworks” and Alexander Hamilton to Rock & Roll Icons, special programming, a new café, art-making activities for people of all ages, a new program for people with Alzheimer’s, community partnerships, and special events such as Hudson Valley Hops, Mummy Birthday, and the Gala. Throughout the year, the museum offered $2.25 admission on Saturdays as a birthday gift to our patrons. We also created a new timeline highlighting the people, events, and objects that shaped the 225 year history of New York State’s oldest museum, which can be viewed on our website. In 2016 we welcomed 33,970 people to the museum, an increase of almost 9,000 people over 2015. The museum’s digital audience has expanded as virtual access to our collections, online exhibitions, and school curriculum materials has increased. Our membership increased by 11%, bucking the national trend. Participation in our art-making activities such as Art for All increased by 93% and 49% for Tute for Tots after revamping program offering and times. Contributions to the museum’s operations and special projects rose dramatically. Technology advancements included Wi-Fi in the galleries and public spaces and a new Smart Board and document camera for the classroom. If you visit our page on the Goggle Cultural Institute, you can take a virtual tour of our galleries. With funding from the New York State Council on the Arts, we installed LED lighting in the galleries, resulting in an annual savings of $9,000.

  • Carl Theodor Dreyer's the Passion of Joan Of
    The Evidence of Things Not Seen: Carl Theodor Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc Daniel Garrett March 28, 2006 La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc (The Passion of Joan of Arc), starring Renee Maria Falconetti as the inspired young peasant woman warrior, directed by Denmark’s Carl Theodor Dreyer (1889-1968), is a black-and-white silent film that has long been acclaimed a classic. Dreyer’s film is based on the actual transcripts of the trial of Jeanne d’Arc, adapted by Dreyer and Joseph Delteil. It is often interesting to see a work considered a classic and to ask, Why? Are the values that established its worth still applicable today? Are the pleasures or profundities it offered yesterday still available today? I was lucky enough to see the film at a free screening in the Winter Garden of the World Financial Center, on a recent cold February evening. The film was accompanied by the music of composer Richard Einhorn, performed by The Ensemble Sospeso, Anonymous 4, The New Amsterdam Singers, and four vocal soloists, including Susan Narucki, Janice Meyerson, Mark Bleeke, and Kevin Deas, all conducted by David Hattner. It was one of those casually elegant events that Manhattan does very well. The Winter Garden, with its 1 glass atrium, tall palm trees, portable black seats, and green garden seats built for three, was host to a few hundred people who had come for the film, or the music, or both. I had, in about the seventh row from the front, an aisle garden seat, shared by an older married couple, and my sight lines were clear (some viewing was obscured by the palm trees).
