The Catskill Mountain Foundation continues to mark the completion of its first decade with a gala celebration of its performing arts program called Funny Valentines. Join Darcy Dunn, Mark Singer, musical director Julia Mendelsohn and friends as they celebrate ten years of great performances at the CMF.
In 1998, Darcy, Mark and Julia were the first performers at the Foundation's Red Barn, and the Windham Journal raved, "The performers treated the audience to sounds perhaps never before heard in our area. Floating between solos and duets on everything from opera to e.e. cummings, Dunn and Singer gave those present a treat." In the last ten years, these exceptional performers have been featured in a series of return engagements for the CMF, and this year they will present an exciting and nostalgic look back and at those wonderful performances—offereing an evening of storytelling, laughter and beautiful music-making.
