04/18 Sunday

2:30 PM Hester

A benefit for the Mark Sandman Music Project, featuring music of Beethoven, Stravinsky and Bolling, and perhaps a few surprises.

Suggested Donation: $10.00

Hester is:
Annamae Goldstein, violin
John Yannis, piano

Two old friends reunite for a weekend of musicmaking, culminating in a short concert for a good cause. Annamae plays with the orchestra of the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. John mostly sings renaissance music these days, but used to play a lot of piano. Just ask Annamae. Back in high school, they rocked out with Claude Bolling's various suites for classical instruments plus 'jazz piano'. Older but not much wiser, they will revisit some of that music, plus take on some other stuff. Join them for a relaxed, informal hour-or-so of music. All proceeds will benefit the Mark Sandman Music Project, which seeks to provide opportunities for young people to participate in music and develop creative, social, and cognitive skills.
