The concert series continues through Sunday, May 22, 2016 culminating with a performance from Vinnie St. Marten and the Seeing Eye Dog Band- A Ray Charles Inspired Program. This season’s lineup also includes Dean Karahalis and the New York Brass Choir, Washington Square Winds- a Woodwind Quintet, Just Sixties…..The Stories! The Songs!, SEGUE- Violin, Guitar and Flamenco Dance, Wand’ring Minstrels with New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players, Plaza Productions’ Camelot, Scarborough Fair-the Guthrie Brothers’ tribute to Simon and Garfunkel and Italian Opera classics from Salvatore Chiarelli, just to name a few.
