NOAH HAVERKAMP-FRERE is joining the Brooklyn Emerging Artists at NY Citi Theatre and Media at 1462 Southern Boulevard in the Bronx on April 26 for a new music concert (there may be a little rock-and-roll thrown in as well). Noah will have one or two compositions performed, and will improvise at the piano as well. The Brooklyn Emerging Artists group is a group of, well, emerging artists living in Brookln! The festivities get underway at 7pm.

EUGENE MARLOW, NYCC’s Director, Media Relations and Membership Coordinator, reports he is a recipient of a travel scholarship to attend the June 11-14, 2008 National Performing Arts Convention in Denver, Colorado. He says, “Together with some funding from Baruch College, I think I have my expenses covered. Of greater importance, I will attend this convention wearing two hats: officially, as senior co-chair of the Milt Hinton Jazz Perspectives concert series at Baruch (how do we attract more students to our concerts?) and as a member of the NY Composers Circle.” If anyone has a comment they would like to pass along to Gene, he invites some feedback. “The focus of the convention is essentially building audiences for the arts. What issues should I have in mind while I travel through the convention meetings? The classical world will be there.”
