Nyack Jazz - New Exhibition at the Historical Society of the Nyacks

Tune in to the next episode of Crossroads of Rockland History on

Monday, August 19, 9:30 am, on WRCR 1700 AM

We’ll learn about the new exhibition at the Historical Society of the Nyacks (HSN), “NYACK JAZZ.” This exhibition focuses on the rich history of jazz in Nyack, beginning in the early 1900s, through the golden years of The Office in the 1970s, up to the vibrant revival of jazz today.

HSN Trustee Mimi Hoffman will join host Clare Sheridan to discuss the musicians, their accomplishments, and Nyack’s music environment, which continues to nurture young talent.

This exhibition is fun for all—jazz enthusiasts, jazz newcomers, and all those who find it fascinating that pr-schoolers discover their passion and are “hooked.” 

“NYACK JAZZ” is open every Saturday from 1 to 4 pm through September 28. Enter the HSN at 50 Piermont Avenue, Nyack, from the Nyack Library parking lot.
