The Houghton's home is at the end of a long drive that passes a tranquil pond, the setting for winter skating and summer picnics. You get glimpses of the house through the trees that border a large field, the inspiration for the house's name. The Field combines a contemporary exterior and an interior furnished with a fascinating mix of modern, traditional, and antique pieces. The extensive use of muted earth tones is a perfect foil for Maisie and Jamie's eclectic collection of art - including a striking Tom Buechner portrait of the couple's son and daughter. The spacious terraces and lawns that surround the house feature many pieces of sculpture. The water cascade and reflecting pool are particularly appealing on a late summer day. In the distance is the surrounding woodland that ensures the privacy of this unique home.

Established in 1996 and conducted by Music Director Marietta Cheng, the Orchestra of the Southern Finger Lakes is the principal ensemble of Corning-Elmira Musical Arts, Inc. (CEMA). CEMA serves New York's Southern Tier communities through extraordinary musical programs and educational offerings. CEMA was established in 1996 through a consolidation of the Corning Philharmonic Society and the Elmira Symphony and Choral Society. The organization now comprises more than 150 musicians in its Chorus, Professional Orchestra, and Youth Orchestra.
