The concert was envisioned as an annual musical event bringing area residents together through a live musical celebration of shared American and diverse cultural heritages in the natural setting on the Hudson River.

She founded the West Village Chorale, Columbia Festival Orchestra, Hudson Chamber Opera, and two chamber music series, Claverack Landing and Classics on Hudson, and now the Hudson Festival Orchestra.
