The Kemyndable Flute Trio, Deborah Proulx, Amy Klein, and Kenneth Korn, are returning with a concert specifically designed for the outdoor performance space at the Albert Wisner Public Library.
The woods and wetlands directly behind the library are home to many birds, and the perimeter of the property is lined with birdhouses. The terraced grounds create an intimate amphitheater making it the perfect setting for a concert celebrating birds and the music of birds. The flute has a particular affinity to emulate bird songs. While the flute can play high and fast, it still is lyrical and melodic. Not surprisingly many composers have written works inspired by birdsong specifically for the Flute. The Kemyndable Trio will be performing some of the most successful works that capture the lyrical and flowing nature of birdsong. The following works will be performed:
- Trio in D for 3 Flutes F.A. Hoffmeister
- The Bird Fancyer’s Delight John Walsh
- Dance of the Hummingbirds Halpner
- The Cuckoo in the Forest
- (From Carnival of the Animals) Saint-Saens
- On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring Frederick Delius
- The Cuckoo and the Nightingale Gustav Mahler
- Birds Herman Beeftink
- Sun Sep 14: Miss Maybell and the Jazz Age Artistes: Join us for an afternoon of vintage hot jazz, blues and ragtime music from 1900-1929. Miss Maybell and the Jazz Age Artistes source their tunes from dusty old 78rpm records and antique sheet music and give new life to songs created over 100 years ago!

The Warwick Children’s Book Festival was first held in September 2005 at Stanley-Deming Park in Warwick, NY. So well-received, it was clear the Festival would have to become a Warwick tradition. After a six-year hiatus during which Albert Wisner Public Library designed, built and relocated to a beautiful new building, the Festival resumed in 2011. Planned and organized by the Library, the Festival is sponsored by Library 
benefactors Glenn P. and Susan D. Dickes, the Village of Warwick and others. Best Book Fairs, LLC is the bookseller. A portion of the proceeds benefits the Albert Wisner Public Library Foundation, which funds enhancements to the programs and services of the Library.
The 2022 Warwick Children’s Book Festival will be held on Saturday, October 8 from 11am-4pm at Stanley-Deming Park at the intersection of South Street and Parkway. Admission is free and the Festival is open to all the young at heart. Join fellow readers to celebrate children’s literacy, share a love of the written word, discover new books, talk with those who create them, and have your book purchases autographed. Nearly 2,000 visitors attended the Festival in 2021. The Festival will again bring the community and visitors together in the 
heart of the Village of Warwick, near charming shops, galleries, and family-friendly cafes, and close to apple orchards and family farms.
We are delighted to welcome back the beloved Uncle Brothers Band. Singer-songwriter Tom Gardner and colleagues will perform a lively, interactive concert for children in the bandstand at 12:00pm. Preview the Uncle Brothers here and invite a friend to the concert! Feel free to bring a blanket, towel or lawn chair.
