Simon’s Dream represents a rare chance to hear the eclectic and uplifting music of the seminal British instrumental group Penguin Cafe Orchestra, played live by a band which includes members of the original ensemble. Jennifer Maidman and Annie Whitehead were both long standing members of the original group and collaborated extensively with its late founder Simon Jeffes. Simon started the band after a series of unusual dreams and visions about a possible dystopian future and it’s antidote, a magical cafe where a special kind of music would be played which would open hearts, connect souls, and lift spirits. Joining Jennifer and Annie on stage will be some of the Hudson Valley’s finest musicians : Scott Petito, Jerry Marotta, Liam Singer and Jonathan Talbot.
