Park Slope’s first family of arts and culture will be appearing at a benefit at the Rainbow Room, one of my favorite New York spots, in a benefit for Healing Bridges, a group that raises money for women and children in Africa. Interestingly, it’s hosted by Robin Quivers from the Howard Stern Show and her group, Girls Night Out.

For us the big draw is Simon, a wonderful painter and Simone, a world-class pianist with a top selling CD of the Goldberg Variations out now. Here’s the blurb from the invite. The price is a little steep but hey, it’s for a great cause.

Howard Stern Show radio personality Robin Quivers and her
charity-focused dinner committee Girls Night Out will host A NIGHT OF
MUSIC AND ART WITH THE DINNERSTEINS, which takes place on April 17th at
the Rainbow Room in New York City. The dinner will benefit Healing
Bridges, a non-profit organization that creates jobs in Africa for
women to support themselves and their families and help fund their new
business ventures. For more information on Healing Bridges go to www.Healingbridges.org.

The evening will feature the music of Simone Dinnerstein, the acclaimed
American concert pianist who the New York Times called an artist
“poised for a breakthrough,” and whose recent recording of Bach’s
Goldberg Variations earned the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Classical
Chart in its first week.
The night will also feature the art of her father, the celebrated
painter Simon Dinnerstein of Brooklyn, NY whose work has been featured
around the world.

Cocktails begin at 6pm,
followed by dinner and the performance. Special celebrity seating will
soon be available on www.charityfolks.com.  VIP tickets are $1000 and
all other seats are $350. Information on purchasing tickets can be
obtained via email to HealingBridgesEvent@gmail.com or by telephone at
