On Sunday, January 9th at 2PM, the Neighborhood Classics Series at PS 321 presents Bridget Kibbey, the award-winning harpist, who will perform an international program that includes Benjamin Briten’s “Suite for Harp,” Andre Caplet’s “A L’espanol,” Kati Agocs’s “Every Lover is a Warrior,” and an arrangement of Celtic reels.
Neighborhood Classics at PS 321 [180 Seventh Ave. between First and Second streets in Park Slope, (718) 499-2412], Jan. 9 at 2 pm. Tickets $15.
Neighborhood Classics is the series produced/curated by Simone Dinnerstein, who has brought interesting classical programming to Park Slope since 2009.
It’s a win-win for music lovers and parents, teachers and students at PS 321, who benefit from the proceeds of the concert series.
As Dinnerstein told the NY Post: “I wanted to start a concert series that would bring families together to listen to classical music, and doing this in my own neighborhood seemed like a good place to begin…We can all look just outside our front doors for opportunities like this.”
How does she do it? January 8th 16th is the release date of Dinnerstein’s new all-Bach CD: “Bach: A Strange Beauty.” It is her first album on Sony.
Actually, the cd is officially being released on January 16th but we (Simon and I) are hosting a cd celebration party for Simone on Saturday, January 8th at our home and the cd’s will be available for purchase (before they get to the stores!).
