Watch Video Of Peace Masters Concert Performance By Roosevelt Island Resident And Community Icon Roy Eaton - A Collection Of Works By J.S. Bach, Chopin, Joplin, Evans And Roy Too

It's been a rainy and dreary last few days so I hope this musical treat brightens the rest of your day.

Last July 15, Roosevelt Island Concerts, Main Street Theatre & Dance Alliance and RIVAA Gallery joined together for an Evening Of Peace concert by our world renowned neighbor, musician and advertising legend, Roy Easton. According to Roosevelt Island Concerts:

Roosevelt Island Visual Arts Association, Main Street Theater & Dance Alliance, and Roosevelt Island Concerts are joining forces to present a concert to honor our beloved friend and icon of our community, and to bask in the musicality with which he has touched our lives.

Between his successes in both concert music and advertising, Roy Eaton’s life story is one of spiritual and creative triumph, overcoming significant difficulties and adversity. He attributes his success to the practice of meditation, and has crafted an enduring program that will bring that sense of peace back to Good Shepherd for an evening. On this program, "Peace Masters," you can expect to hear a collection of 10 short works by J.S. Bach, Frédéric Chopin, Scott Joplin, Bill Evans, and by Roy Eaton himself:
