Titled "Palmas," the work runs through November 10 and features recorded flamenco palmero clapping that will accompany guided visitors at timed intervals. (Composer Ben Neill's Manitoga premieres July 26.) $20, $15 members/students/seniors, $10 children under 12. Tours at 11am and 1:30pm. Garrison, (845) 424-3812; Russelwrightcenter.org.
