Start your new year at a peaceful gathering with music, poetry readings and camaraderie at this popular event. Join musicians Philip Anderson, tenor; Robert Zubrycki, violin; Anik Oulianine, cello; Jenifer Tao, piano; Paul Staroba, piano, and our readers, Phyllis Polonkay, George Joiner and Rebecca Rabinowitz.
We will perform classical, Broadway, and seasonal favorites, interspersed with a wide variety of poetry. The event will include a special tribute to Don Pippin, the famed Broadway Musical Director and former Brewster resident, as well as several Stephen Sondheim songs. Jennifer and Paul will highlight the Coalition’s two pianos with the slow movement from Mozart’s Sonata for Two Pianos.
