I had the pleasure of accompanying Lisa Rochelle with special guest Marc Krause featuring the music of various Broadway composers, most notably Rodgers and Hart and Bock and Harnick (celebrating the 50th anniversary of their masterpiece FIDDLER ON THE ROOF). It was at Somers Point Country Club. Lisa was recently featured in Broadway World for her recent Sondheim concert. Click here for more information on the Sondheim Concert.

I was extremely fortunate to have played for this wonderful organization, led by the incredible Pam Pariseau. On 7-14-14, auditions with some incredible YOUNG talent from all over (Ohio, New Mexico, among other places) and on 7-18-14, I got to accompany for the wickedly talented Susan Blackwell. She wrote a great song and presented a lecture to teachers on the art of “listening”. Â Two wonderful programs!!! For more information on Broadway Student Summit, click here.
