I'm happy to present another A Potpourri of Song℠ concert in November in Brooklyn. Different Hats, showcasing the different talents of four musicians, a composer, and a librettist, will be presented at St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Clinton Hill, on Sunday, November 11 at 5:00 p.m. Featured will be the premiere of a new composition, Directions, written by A Potpourri of Song℠ Composer in Residence, Douglas Anderson on a new text by the award-winning librettist, Andrew Joffe.

The requested donation is $20. A tithe of the gate receipts will be given to a local charitable organization. For directions to the church and advance tickets, call the church office at (718) 638-2090, visit our website, www.stmarysbrooklyn.org or send an email request to office.stmarysclintonhill@verizon.net.

You can right-click on the flyer image above, save, email, or print and hand it out.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

I promised that I would post A Potpourri of Song℠ programs on this blog after the concert had taken place.

To the right is a screen shot of a slightly edited version of the first program, presented on Sunday, September 23, 2012 at St. Mary's Episcopal Church, Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.

It was, if I may say so myself, well-received!

We are slowly building an audience;  attendance at this concert was over 30 people.  Many more persons purchased tickets in advance, so we more than covered our expenses and were able to give St. Mary's a decent surplus.

We will also be able to tithe almost $100 to Several Sources Shelters, which serves the New York Metro area by providing shelter and assistance to women — especially single, pregnant women.

Thank you to all who attended or supported this first of many special events and concerts to be presented at St. Mary's!

June Jazz in Clinton Hill

This coming month, I'm producing a different type of concert than what you've usually seen with my usual A Potpourri of Song℠ offerings.

June Jazz  and "A Taste of Barbados" will offer fine jazz by The Danny Mixon Jazz Ensemble with food and drink that will include some savory dishes with a Barbadian flavor.

Come join us on June 8 at 7:00 p.m. at St. Mary's Episcopal Church's historic ballroom-style Johnson Hall.  Two sets of music will be performed by the band at approximately 8pm and 9:30 pm with food served before and between sets.

Many thanks to Jim Morehand of ParlorJazz for suggesting and booking Mr. Mixon for this concert and for helping publicize this event.

Come on out for a wonderful evening of jazz and food!  After our event, hang out at one of the fine restaurants or other night spots in this neighborhood near the venerable Pratt Institute in the increasingly vibrant Clinton Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn.
