Columbia Rocks! (Audio)

Jul 13, 2012
Produced by Olivia Williams.
At noon on July 13, we heard the first annual Columbia Rocks! concert at Club Helsinki presented by The Columbia County Arts and Humanities Project, a fund of Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation. Six young singer/songwriters were chosen by audition from all the public schools in Columbia County to showcase their talent at this event. These students have spent the past week at Henry Hirsch’s Waterfront Studios honing their writing and composing skills by producing all original material.

In this piece, Olivia Williams speaks with Jeff Levitsky of the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, Henry Hirsch, and students Aaron Martin from Hudson High School, Mia McGiffert from Taconic Hills High School, Olivia Klingler from Chatham High School, and 11-year old Edward James Donahue.
