On June 3, 1999 the Hudson Valley Philharmonic officially became a Bardavon subsidiary. The Bardavon's main challenge for the Hudson Valley Philharmonic is developing new audiences for classical music. Toward meeting this challenge, and equally important in its own right, is the continuing evolution of the HVP Young People's Concerts/Classroom to Concert program, which was redesigned by a Juilliard/NY Philharmonic teaching artist in 1999. Each year, this program provides thousands of regional school children with thoroughly enjoyable hands-on experiences with superb music while also building symphony audiences of tomorrow.

Today, a full season of HVP Symphony Concerts Series performances can be enjoyed in an elegant setting with superb acoustics at the Bardavon and our “second stage”, the Ulster Performing Arts Center/Broadway Theater. The orchestra also makes regular guest appearances at festival venues, including: SUNY/New Paltz PianoSummer, the Bowdoin Park pavilion of Dutchess County , and Bethel Woods Center for the Performing Arts.

The Rosendale Theatre is located at 408 Main Street, Rosendale, NY 12401 in Ulster County. The Rosendale Theatre Collective is dedicated to preserving the historic Rosendale Theatre and enhancing the cultural life and economic vitality of Rosendale and Ulster County through film, the performing arts, and educational programming.

Goals of the Rosendale Theatre include:

Film
Presenting independent and mainstream films, including foreign, documentary, and local productions. Continue current interaction with the Woodstock Film Festival and expand that relationship.

Theatre
Initially provide a space for independently produced theatrical productions and performance art, by renting the facility to local producers. In the future, evolve toward a local repertory production group.

Music
Expand the ability of local musicians and concert producers to present unique and significant musical acts, from jazz, folk, and rock to classical, African, choral, and world music. Work toward producing some of these musical events in-house.

Dance
Encourage local dance companies to use the facility to present contemporary productions in jazz, modern, classical, experimental and folk traditions.

Children
Enhance film, music, dance and theatrical entertainment, and educational programming for youth.

From Bearsville Theater "Perched on the Sawkill Creek in one the region’s most picturesque streamside settings, the Bearsville Theater property also includes two restaurants, The Little Bear and the renowned Bear Café, and the offices of WDST and Radio Woodstock - both housed in Utopia, Todd Rundgren’s former video studio.

"The Bearsville Theater is the brainchild of Albert Grossman, the music industry visionary and magnate whose stable included Peter, Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, The Band and Todd Rundgren. Years in the planning and building - using the region’s finest craftsmen — the theater was opened in 1989 by Albert’s widow, Sally Grossman.

"Since then, the theater’s stage has been graced by the likes of Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Edward Albee’s Tony Award-winning Three Women, The Band, The Pretenders, Natalie Merchant, Pearl, Astrud Gilberto, Bela Fleck, Jimmy Cliff, Taj Majal, Richie Havens, Warren Zevon, Artie Traum, and Bruce Cockburn - to name just a few.

"Among the world-class artists that live in and around Woodstock and play the theater on a regular basis are Jack deJohnette, David Sancious, Robbie Dupree, Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta, Warren Bernhardt, Peter Schickele, and Happy Traum."
