Roosevelt Island Sing For Hope Pop Up Piano Concert Yesterday Evening In Front Of Blackwell House With Benjamin Rosenblum Jazz Fusion Duo - Art Sanctifies Humanity

Contributor Francine Lange reported yesterday on the Sing For Hope Pop Up Piano in front of Roosevelt Island's Blackwell House:

... Roosevelt Island just received its very own pop-up piano, plunked down next to Blackwell House on Main Street. If you haven't heard, it's a supercool project of Sing for Hope, a nonprofit that brings together artists with communities to carry art into New York City neighborhoods...
...

Anyone can stage an impromptu concert or sing-along, play a few pieces or just admire the art work. The piano, one of 88 pianos placed across all five boroughs, will be available until Saturday, July 2. You can learn more about this project at http://pianos.singforhope.org/...

The Benjamin Rosenblum Jazz Fusion Duo, local residents, performed last night at the Roosevelt Island Pop Up Piano and were very good.



The Duo emphasize the importance of art in the public schools and one member of the duo shared his personal motto of "Art Sanctifies Humanities".



It was a very nice event in partnership with RIOC - only wish it had started a little later, been better publicized and lasted a bit longer.
