Brooklyn Harmonics

Our first public concert is coming upā€¦

Itā€™s never a dull moment in NYC, especially when tourists (and Santas, for one dreaded day!) flock to midtown to take in the sights and shows. Bryant Parkā€™s winter village might be my favoriteā€¦ and fun fact: did you know that the crystal ball that ā€œdropsā€ on NYE in Times Square actually very slowly rises to the top of its pole over the course of the year?

Anyway, itā€™s a busy time of year for me, too. Earlier this month, we learned and performed some beautiful arrangements for Hanukkah at Congregation Shearith Israel. One was a deceptively hard but stunning arrangement of Psalm 23, by our own maestro Leon Hyman. I find myself humming it from time to time.

Next week, Iā€™m singing with the Brooklyn Harmonics in our first public concert, backed by the talented Bryan Carter and the Young Swangers. Itā€™s not to be missed. Iā€™ve loved singing with these 8 phenoms, and I canā€™t wait for friends and family to see us for the first time. Hopefully we can record a killer album sometime soonā€¦

St. Lukeā€™s Forest Hills

Iā€™ll be almost as busy as Santa on Christmas Eve, with two back to back church services. One at Broadway Presbyterian, where Iā€™m thrilled to sing with Djordje Nesic at the keys. The next at St. Lukeā€™s Episcopal in Forest Hills, under the amazing Bill Stokes and in one of my favorite little churches in the world. Canā€™t wait!
