Our February SUNDAY SALON is tomorrow, February 27 and GENE McBRIDE is once again graciously hosting the event. (Thanks, Gene!) We get started at 2pm at Manhattan Plaza, 484 W. 43 Street, Apartment 14M. This Salon promises to be a special event as we'll be discussing the life and times of the recently passed Milton Babbitt. We'll share personal insights, listen to a few pieces, and discuss his lasting influence.
