Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!!
Ok, that doesn't work as well as "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!!"
This coming Saturday, The Cadillac Moon Ensemble will be performing the premiere of my quartet Goodnight, Nobody. If you are in/around Astoria, and I bet some of you are, go check it out! My work is programmed alongside some pretty heavy hitters. I'm honored to be with such names.
Details:
The Cadillac Moon Ensemble (Roberta Michel, flutes, Jeffrey Phillips, violin/viola, Evelyn Farny, cello, Danielle Weinberg, percussion) is playing at Waltz-Astoria this Saturday at 7:00, and we'd love to have you there! We'll be playing pieces by Jay Batzner, Zack Browning, Luca Vanneschi (world premiere!), Christian Wolff, Jeffrey Harrington, Hector Villa-Lobos, David Drexler, and John Cage. And as if that weren't enticing enough, let us mention that Waltz-Astoria has amazing desserts. (Red velvet cake, anyone?) Cover is $10, and there is a 2 drink minimum.
Saturday, Sept. 20, 7 PM
Waltz-Astoria: 23-14 Ditmars Blvd, Astoria, NY
Waltz-Astoria is on Ditmars Blvd between 23rd and 24th streets. Take either the N or W train to Ditmars Blvd and 31st st and walk six blocks west to 24th st.
