To Be rescheduled! What! Real live Quakers in NYC, 8 PM
Friday, February 26, What! Real live Quakers in NYC, 8 PM Who are they and what do they look like? What do they believe? What is Quaker music like? Do they eat oats? Are all Quakers pacifists--and if not, why not? Spend an evening discussing these questions, and any others you have, with Tom Rothschild, Quaker and author of several articles about Quaker practice and belief. Relax, listen and participate in music by Vonn New, a Quaker who composes and performs electro-acoustic ambient music and teaches Quakers and others about musical improvisation as a spiritual practice.

Saturday, February 20, 8 PM
Saturday, February 20, 8 PM JOURNEY: A passage through sounds and words "At defining moments in our lives, it is the words of wisdom, the songs of the sages, and the stories of strength that guide us through the narrow places, give us heart, and help us find safe passage through the tumult. Wisdom is forged in the fires of creation, generated by the friction between the opposites that define our lives. Through their shared love of song, story and movement, Peggy Pettitt and Meg Sinclair string their tales of search and struggle on the soulful thread that runs through Celtic, Blues and Gospel music. They offer up a moving evening of shared wisdom & inspiration from two worldly, wise and gifted women who have discovered the commonality in their--and our---diverse personal and cultural histories, validating the ancient assertion that, “Truth is One, but the sages speak of it by many names.” Peggy Pettitt is an actress, playwright and storyteller. Caught Between The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea and In The Spirit for Real are among her original works. Peggy is a recipient of NYFA, NEA, and Fulbright Fellowships in performance. She lives in New York City and teaches self-scripting at Naropa University and New York University's MFA and BFA programs in performance. Meg Sinclair is a pianist, composer and dance accompanist. Her works have appeared off-Broadway, at Playhouse 91 and various dance venues around the world. She currently accompanies classes at The Mark Morris Dance Group in Brooklyn and teaches privately. Meg is a member of NYWFT and is the publisher of Holistic Primary Care: News for Health & Healing. Suggested donation $15 ($10 students and seniors)

Saturday, February 6, Live Music with Tim Hill, 8PM
Saturday, February 6, Live Music with Tim Hill, 8PM Join us for an evening of original music with singer-songwriter, Timothy Hill. A dynamic and engaging performer, Hill has a broad range of experience that gives his music a richness and depth rarely heard today. From his forays into realms of improvised jazz to his in-depth study of Indian classical music, Hill is much more than a man with a guitar. As an original member of David Hykes’ world-renowned group, The Harmonic Choir, he is a pioneer in the art of harmonic singing. The New York Times called Hill “a virtuoso of the Tibetan chanting technique.” He has appeared on stages with a wide array of artists such as Bill Frisell, Jeff Buckley, Odetta and Pete Seeger. His insightful lyrics, penetrating vocals and sensitive guitar work create a spellbinding atmosphere full of unexpected wonder. Suggested donation: $10
