You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Maverick Concert Hall''' was built in 1916 and was part of the Maverick Artist Colony in [[Hurley, New York|Hurley]], New York.

The '''Maverick Festival''', a precursor to the Maverick Concerts, was founded in 1915 by [[Hervey White]], and by 1931 the festival suspended.<ref name=":0" />

==Maverick Concert Hall==

The historic concert hall is located in [[Hurley (town), New York|Hurley, New York]], on the outskirts of [[Woodstock, New York|Woodstock]], in [[Ulster County, New York|Ulster County]]. The [[barn]]-like, rectangular building with its [[gambrel|gambrel roof]] was built in 1916 with a roof of asphalt and [[Shake (shingle)|wood shingles]] and a frame of heavy [[Timber framing|timber]], to which the walls—sheaths of wide planks—are nailed directly. The hall was constructed without the services of an architect and with volunteer labor, as part of the arts community known as the [[Hervey White#Byrdcliffe and the Maverick|Maverick Colony]].((Citation needed|date=September 2020)) 

The wooden construction and acoustics create an environment well suited to the intimacy of live chamber music, and the Maverick has been listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] since 1999.<ref name="NRHP registration doc">((cite web|url=http://www.oprhp.state.ny.us/hpimaging/hp_view.asp?GroupView=9778|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Maverick Concert Hall|last=Bonafide|first=John|publisher=New York State Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation|accessdate=24 January 2012))</ref><ref name="Four images of hall">((cite web|url=http://www.oprhp.state.ny.us/hpimaging/hp_view.asp?GroupView=9755|title=Four Images of Maverick Concert Hall|last=Department of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation|first=Images|work=Accompanying photos|publisher=New York State|accessdate=24 January 2012))</ref>

===Maverick Horse===
[[File:MaverickHorseClose.jpg|thumb|100px]]
In the summer of 1924, Mr. White commissioned [[John Flannagan (sculptor)|John Flannagan]], a gifted but penniless<ref name="Craven book">((cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/sculptureinameri0000crav|title=Sculpture in America|last=Craven|first=Wayne|publisher=Thomas Y. Crowell Co.|year=1968|location=New York, N.Y.|pages=[https://archive.org/details/sculptureinameri0000crav/page/580 580]|url-access=registration))</ref> sculptor, to create a symbol for the colony. Flannagan, one of the first [[Direct carving|direct carvers]] to work in the United States, was paid the prevailing wage of fifty cents an hour. Using an ax as his major tool, in a few days he had carved a monumental piece from the trunk of a chestnut tree. 

The statue depicts the horse emerging from the outstretched hands of a man, who appears, in turn, to be emerging from the earth. The iconic 18-foot sculpture stood, for 36 years, at the entrance of the road to the concert hall and the now-vanished theater. After the horse began to weather alarmingly, it was moved to a nearby studio until 1979, when it was moved to the stage of the Maverick Concert Hall. A plaque at its base indicates that it was restored in 2006. It stands there still.<ref name="Maverick horse">((cite web|url=https://maverickconcerts.org/history/|title=The Maverick Horse|last=Rosenblum|first=Cornelia Hartmann|work=Maverick Concerts History|publisher=Maverick Concerts, Inc.|accessdate=30 April 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100827234933/http://www.maverickconcerts.org/history.html#horse|archive-date=27 August 2010|url-status=dead))</ref>((Primary source inline|date=May 2020))

==John Cage and 4’33"==

On August 29, 1952, the young pianist and composer [[David Tudor]] premiered at the Maverick a well-known and controversial work by the American exponent of experimental music [[John Cage]], one of the leading [[post-war]] [[avant-garde]] composers. Arguably Cage's most famous piece, [[4′33″]] (which was originally scored for piano) has commonly been referred to as “four minutes and thirty-three seconds of silence.” Cage demonstrated, however, that the absence of notes was not the same thing as silence. The composer's stated intention<ref name="Kostelanetz Cage ref">((cite book|last=Kostelanetz|first=Richard|title=Conversing With John Cage|url=https://archive.org/details/conversingwithca00kost|url-access=limited|year=2003|publisher=Routledge|location=New York, N.Y.`|isbn=0-415-93792-2|pages=[https://archive.org/details/conversingwithca00kost/page/n81 69]–70))</ref>  was for the audience to listen to the “accidental” sounds around them: the birdsong, the wind in the trees, the rain on the roof, the sounds of the audience members themselves.
