I am very proud to be the music diector for the third year for my colleague Robert Manganaro’s fundraiser (on January 25, 2026) at his son Leo’s school at PS 199. Singers for the concert include Jenny Harney Fleming (“Hamilton”) and Betsy Wolfe (currently, & Juliet).
Since I was a little boy, I’ve been fascinating with making music with others. Now on January 1, 2026 I celebrate my love of collaboration with my rewriting of the song THE DANCE I wrote with Michael Colby with the amazingly talented Tommy Ferolano. To check out the recent review of Michael’s concert, click here.
Tonight on the sixth night of Chanukah, I played piano for Rabbi Jill and the Actors Temple Chanukah services and the open mic that followed. (Thanks to John Treacy Egan for the beautiful birthday shirt that I am wearing).
Tonight I was honored to be asked to play piano for Patricia Leonard and Brenda Vaccaro’s annual Christmas party. I am the dramaturg for Patricia’s gorgeous musical WRITTEN IN THE STARS. It was such fun to accompany the very talented Izzy, Nikita Burshteyn and Debbie Wileman. To hear Debbie singing live at the party with yours truly at the piano, click here. To hear Debbie’s version of Judy’s Somewhere over the Rainbow, click here.
It was so wonderful to return to the Adventures of The Christmas Elf I wrote with Bob Fitzsimmons and Barbara Campbell and presented by the incredible Actors Conservatory Theater. Click here to read about this production.
I had a great time playing piano at the Yacht Club – a nice medley and variety of mostly Holiday songs. Shout out to my long time friend Sasha Nanus!
