Festival of the Voice a magical event

To The Editor:
It is said that a place where two waterways meet is sacred ground. And here, between the foothills of Mount Tremper and the Mighty Esopus, we created something unique and magical, and the trees and mountains and creatures in the woods and rocks and water and the people who live here came together, and were united by this great primal vibration we call voice-and united in song.

We are overjoyed with our first annual “The Phoenicia Festival of the Voice.” We want to thank all of your readers who attended, and invite all to attend our festival next August.

We had extraordinary artists give magnificent performances under gorgeous skies, for two of the three days, and all to great acclaim. Our area’s arts offerings are truly excellent and diverse and the collaborative marketing effort by all of us all over the county is an attraction for many who do not live here.

And, we thank the many volunteers, of all ages, both in the several months leading up to the festival, and during the weekend, who unselfishly gave of their time, their enthusiasm and their knowledge, to help us orchestrate this phenomenal event.
We thank you all profoundly.
