On Saturday May 4, 2024, the Village is giving away free compost to Scarsdale residents at the Scarsdale Recycling Center, 110 Secor Road, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, rain or shine. It’s first- come, first-served, so bring a pail, bucket, or other receptacle, and take home some compost! Prior events have been well attended, so plan to be there early. The food scrap compost can be used in one’s vegetable garden, flower beds, or to enrich turf in place of chemical fertilizers.

Residents are strongly encouraged to join the Scarsdale Food Scrap Recycling Program – it’s easy and results in a meaningful reduction to the waste stream, which results in less trash incineration. On May 4, volunteers will be available to answer questions, help you get started, and food scrap recycling starter kits and rolls of compostable bags will be available for purchase.

The high-quality food scrap compost being given away is provided pursuant to the successful Village of Scarsdale residential Food Scrap Recycling program. Over 3 million pounds of food scraps have been recycled since the beginning of the program in January 2017!

For any questions about the May 04 compost giveaway, food scrap recycling, or to sign up for the food scrap recycling program, please email composting@scarsdale.com.

About the Hoff-Barthelson Music School Master Class Series
Master class coaching by guest artists has been a cornerstone of Hoff-Barthelson’s curriculum since the School’s founding in 1944. This distinguished tradition has continued this season with a roster of world-class musicians and educators including Daniel Phillips, violin; composers Reiko Füting and Alyssa Weinberg; Hai-Ye Ni, cello; John McCarthy, piano; and Alexa Still, flute.

Master classes provide a transformative experience for both students and audiences. Following meticulous preparation, students showcase their talents, receiving invaluable feedback and guidance from master teachers. This interaction challenges students to approach their pieces in new and critical ways, resulting in inspiring and enlightening performances. Yet the impact extends beyond those on stage—all attendees can learn by observing the creative process firsthand. As iconic performers coach the next generation, the audience gains insight into musical artistry and interpretation. Even developing musicians are granted a rare glimpse into the mastery of world-class artists.

According to Gabriella Sanna, Executive Director of Hoff-Barthelson Music School, "Alexa Still's mastery of the flute is truly extraordinary, and we are honored to have her as the finale to our 2023-24 Master Class Series. Her passion for music and dedication to mentorship aligns perfectly with our mission to inspire and educate the next generation of musicians. We look forward to the invaluable insights she will share with our students and the community."
