I’ll be reading my poem “8:46 AM, Five Years Later” at the Five Boroughs Music Festival Fundraiser this Saturday. It’s the next collaborative project in the works with composer John Glover for the Five Borough Songbook.
Here are the details:
Please join us on July 16th for a special evening of music featuring appearances by several artists from our upcoming Fifth Season roster – including a sneak preview of our bold new Five Borough Songbook, a collection of 20 new songs by 20 unique composers, all on themes that celebrate New York City through its history, geography and poetry. Commissioned by 5BMF, the Songbook will have its world premiere in October 2011.
Saturday, July 16
5:30pm Wine and light refreshments ~ 6:30pm Music
