Children’s Event: The Hudson River Through Music

Have you ever sung a song about our beautiful river?

Join author Carly Cheriff - and her banjo - for an hour of fun as we explore the science, geography and history of the Hudson River all through MUSIC!  Learn how one voice (and banjo) can significantly help to protect our planet! 

Carly’s book, My Hudson River, will be available for purchase ($32) and signing. 50% of all book sales will be donated to Riverkeeper for their awesome work protecting and restoring our river.

This event is appropriate for children ages 2 to 10, and their grown-ups. Please RSVP here so we can plan accordingly. See you on the 14th!

About the Book

My Hudson River is a sing-a-long story about the Hudson River and folk musician Pete Seeger’s efforts to clean it up and bring it back to life. This is a story of MUSIC and Environmental Activism for all ages.

About Carly Cheriff
For the last 5 years, Carly has worked as a music teacher at a public elementary school for students with disabilities in Brooklyn, NY. Carly is now attending an NYU masters program to pursue her lifelong dream of a career in Music Therapy. Her love of Pete Seeger and the Hudson River began when she worked as an educator at Hudson River Park- where she taught New Yorkers about the river and the animals that live there. She believes strongly in Pete Seeger's mission of using folk music to bring people together and to spread awareness of important issues.
