This year’s series, Siren Songs, celebrates the arts and women’s contributions to the arts, as well their voices in our communities, marking the centennial of women’s suffrage in New York State, three years ahead of the rest of our nation. After a century of progress and change, the impact and power of women’s voices in our communities remain a vital contribution to our cultural experience. The five concerts are planned for Thursday evenings at 7 PM starting 7/13 and ending 8/10. Kicking off the series July 13th is SAMMY-award winner and local favorite Lauren Mettler. A singer-songwriter born and raised in CNY Mettler boasts a practice of delving into many different genres and cultures for insight and nuance. Her writing is evocative, empathetic, and gently explorative, inviting her audience to face their own vulnerabilities and others’ as well. Performances begin at 7 PM and will take place at the bandstand on the Village Green in the center of Hamilton with a rain location at the nearby Colgate Inn on the north end of the Village Green. Both locations are wheelchair accessible. Hamilton Arts in the Park is presented by the Village of Hamilton and co-presented by the Earlville Opera House. The Village of Hamilton is grateful for funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by CNY Arts.
