La Vie en Rose!
Wed, April 22, 2009, 7:00pm
80 Music Lovers came out the Lakehouse on April 22nd to share the magic of Edith Piaf’s music, brought to us by the classical soprano Eunice Poulos, and pianist Mitchell Vines. Reviewers of their recent, sold-out performance at the Merkin Concert Hall, NYC (Dec, 08, see link below)* wrote that the performance was so “marvelous” and “impossible to resist” that ....“the whole crowd was just as caught up in the drama and emotion of the songs”….
The program included concert with narration, sing-along and discussions, followed by a reception. -- This event continues our MusiCare tradition: your kind donations go to support The Hoboken Shelter for the Homeless.
