A bit over the moon to report that three of the finest composers/musicians I know of will be performing a song I wrote with Gene Pritsker at 'ECLECTIC SONGS', to be held at the great Symphony Space on December 21st. The night is focused on the Art of Songwriting.  

Here's some more information on the performers and the evening- which you shouldn't miss!


Vocalist/composer Sophie Dunér, artist/pianist/composer Mark Kostabi and composer/guitarist/Di.J. Gene Pritsker perform a set of eclectic songs written by the three artist.

The songs range from jazz inspired, pop influenced, contemporary classical music infused, and more. The eclectic nature of each song as well as the combination of these songs make up a unique program focused on the art of songwriting.

Some standards will be thrown in for good measure and surprise guest instrumentalists will also make appearances.
