ILLUMINANCE (trailer): A Musical Salute to the Magic of Bannerman Castle - Now Playing on WMHT-TV!

Filmed on Bannerman Island in the Hudson River in the Fall of 2020, "Illuminance" transforms Bannerman Castle Trust and its history into a magical performance featuring the Daisy Jopling Band and student guests. With no electricity or water, and only access by boat, the DJMMF produced five concerts to sold-out audiences and mentored over 50 local students. See film credits below.
