A Letter to Burn
Wednesday, June 18, 7 – 8 pm
Explore themes of release and catharsis through A Letter To Burn, a writing workshop in celebration of PRIDE month.
What do you need to let go of? What do you need to burn? Burning letters is an ancient practice that has been used to connect with emotions and release them. Positive or negative, all connections can be overwhelming; this guided workshop will involve writing to the people or things that have a hold on us and letting them go. Maggie Napper will guide workshop participants through a cathartic session of writing then burning letters with an emphasis on personal reflection. Participants are not required to read their work aloud during this event.

The Sembrich Presents
A Juneteenth Celebration: William James Knapp
Thursday, June 19, 2025, 7 pm
William James Knapp was the great-grandchild of Dinah Jackson, the last person enslaved at Historic Cherry Hill in Albany, NY. After his mother died in 1854, James became a ward in Richard van Rensselaer’s household and worked as a butler for the family on State Street. Throughout his life, James also worked as a musician, a sales clerk at Hidley’s Music Store, a hospital porter, and a nurse. James lived at Cherry Hill for about sixteen months between 1880 and 1884. He played the violin, piano, flute, and other instruments, and his sheet music collection included popular, classical, and parlor music from the Victorian Era.
Dr. Christopher Brellochs, music consultant to Historic Cherry Hill, will share the story of William James Knapp and convey a picture of the Capital Region during the Gilded Age, a time when Albany had a music store on almost every block. Musical selections from Mr. Knapp’s extensive personal collection of sheet music – acquired between 1865 to 1885 – will be performed by LayVon Scott, baritone and Dr. Elizabeth Gerbi, piano.
Followed by a lakeside reception.
