The Oneida Community developed a rich musical tradition, anchored both in deep religious values and in the very worldly desire to entertain themselves. Drawing on that tradition, four outstanding performances will be presented in the Mansion House’s Big Hall during “If Music Be the Food of Love, Play On.” All are free to the public and each will be introduced with a story about music in the Oneida Community and followed by a reception with light refreshments.
We invite you to join pianist/saxophonist Monk Rowe (Director, Hamilton College Jazz Archive) on Thurs., April 28 at 7 p.m. for “I’ve Got the Blues.” A popular musician, educator, and jazz scholar, Rowe will perform classic blues songs and then lead the group in a hands-on song writing activity. In small groups, participants will compose new blues lyrics and hear the results at the end of the hour. Previous song writing experience is not required and musicians and non-musicians of all ages are welcome.
The Oneida Community Mansion House was the home of the 19th century utopian Oneida Community (1848-1880). Today, the building houses a museum with permanent and changing exhibitions, residential apartments, overnight lodging, Zabroso Restaurant, and banquet and meeting space. Guided tours are available Wed. through Sat., 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., and Sun. at 2 p.m. for a nominal fee. The Oneida Community Mansion House is located at 170 Kenwood Ave., Oneida, NY.
