Aaron Dessner and Friends to Headline Hawthorne Valley Benefit Concert at Basilica Hudson
Aaron Dessner, Melissa Auf der Maur, Rich Robinson, and Joachim Cooder headline a benefit concert at Basilica Hudson on February 28.
Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School will stage an unusually stacked benefit concert this winter, bringing together a group of internationally known musicians who also happen to be neighbors. Winter Light Up the Night, presented in partnership with Basilica Hudson, takes place Saturday, February 28 at 7:30pm (doors at 7pm) at Basilica Hudson and features performances by Aaron Dessner of The National and friends, Melissa Auf der Maur (Hole, The Smashing Pumpkins), Rich Robinson of The Black Crowes, and Joachim Cooder, with additional artists to be announced.
While the lineup reads like a festival bill, the concert is rooted firmly in place. Dessner, Auf der Maur, and Robinson all live locally, and the evening is designed as a benefit for Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School, which serves students from pre-K through grade 12 on its 900-acre biodynamic farm campus in Columbia County. Supporting performances will include Hawthorne Valley High School students and music faculty, placing professional musicians and young artists on the same stage.
