On Saturday, March 16, 2013 at 7:30PM, Fleischmanns pianist Justin Kolb will present a recital of Waltzes, Tangos, Rags and more. Known for his humorous and sometimes irreverent commentary the program promises to be full of pianistic pyrotechnics as well as anecdotes drawn from his fifty years of “road trips”.
Proceeds will go to the “Fleischmanns Playground Project Fund”.
The Fleischmanns playground is located at Fleischmanns Park on Wagner Ave. Along with the park the playground was destroyed by tropical storm “Irene”. The playground effort is a component of the on-going Park Recovery Project. Local financial fundraising is supplementing the federal funding received to date. Refreshments contributed by fans and “Fleischmanns First” neighbors will enhance the “gala affair’’.
Reservations are required. Cost: $65.00 per person.
Location: Kolb Residence Hog Mountain
Reservations and Directions may be obtained by contacting The Mark Project: 845-586-3500
