Join us for a talk and book signing with Michael Hattem, an American historian with interests in early America, the American Revolution, and historical memory.

In the decades leading up to the American Revolution, ideas of liberty, faith, and self-governance spread not just on battlefields but through the power of the written word. 

We are thrilled to welcome Liz Moore to discuss her latest work, The God of the Woods, an instant New York Times bestseller and one of NPR’s 2024 “Books We Love” highlights.

The Winter Show, now in its 72nd year, showcases more than 70 leading national and international dealers, while also supporting the outreach of the East Side Settlement House.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of extraordinary talent at the Final Round of the 2026 Marianne Liberatore Memorial Instrumental Competition — where some of Connecticut and Westchester’s finest high school musicians compete for top honors!
