Announcing

Anita Brown Jazz Orchestra's

Premiere of
Hart Island Suite
PRESS RELEASE : August 10, 2021
Dear Friends,


The premiere of Hart Island Suite is fast approaching! I hope you might encourage friends to attend with you at this beautiful location in Westchester County, NY.

This piece is deeply personal while embracing the grief of others. Please share in this unique experience of honoring that grief and being part of a joyous jazz-style "Second Line Funeral" for my family member and so many others who left us without this emotional ritual.
 
Please join me and my extended family of musicians in Tarrytown on the beautiful grounds of The Lyndhurst Mansion on the banks of The Hudson River.


I am exceedingly grateful to Mark Morganelli and JazzForumArts for presenting Anita Brown Jazz Orchestra at this beautiful venue. Click each yellow button to more easily see pdf files for the most recent information.

Bring a chair, your favorite refreshments, the kids and the dog!

Hope to see you there! ~Anita
