There’s a pile of art being grown right here in Western Mass, which might be underlining the whole point of our show, but we digress

Because in looking at that art, we might discover all new historical connections. Garden Cinemas is screening two unearthed silent films both created in and with people from Greenfield, and we’ll chat with the two historians who discovered them: Carol Aleman and Chris Clawson about the rarity of such a find, and the journey they took to restore it. 

 We’ll also visit the many growing frights at McCray’s farm, who’s Fear on the Farm is entering its 34th year. We’ll hear not just how the dairy farm has grown into its many agro-tourism offerings, and about the many milky delights you can try out at their Creamery in South Hadley and along the CT river valley

 And our friendly local classical ensemble the Springfield Symphony Orchestra is about to embark on a new season! We speak with President Paul Lambert and Artistic advisor Mei-Ann Chen, who herself will take to the podium twice over the course of this year’s programming, about this year’s modern minded, but tradition acknowledging concerts including their very New England focused season opener on Oct 19th
