We received an adorable email from Phil Lieberman of Florida Secrets, about his experience at Battle of the Arts this weekend, which reads:
"Roz, I, and our friends Michelle and Ben thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, especially the jazz trio. My dad was a songwriter and jazz pianist in the 1940s and 50s. I correctly identified every tune last night."
Photo credit: Phil Lieberman, of his father David Lieberman composing popular music. His songs were recorded by, among others: Charlie Barnet with Lena Horne on vocal; David Rose; Bob Manning; Tutti Camarata; and Don Cherry.
One of our favorite aspects of what we do is to learn about how people are connecting with our music. Happy humpday!
Kicking off the season with disco classics and songs from every decade of The Bee Gees—let's get groOvy! 🕺✌️
The Bee Gees Tribute Show includes present or former members of well known, world-renowned acts including The Alan Parsons Project, Happy Together Tour, Meatloaf, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Riot, Herman’s Hermits, Enrique Iglesias, The Rippingtons, and more.
B.B. King NYC wrote, “The NY Bee Gees Tribute Show presents the most extravagant Bee Gees show a fan can experience. The band offers all of the classic 70’s disco hits from Stayin’ Alive to Night Fever while embracing their early works such as To Love Somebody, I’ve Got To Get A Message To You And Massachusetts. The New York Bee Gees delivers stunning production and powerful vocals.”

Congratulations to our Grants & Communications Manager, Emer Olivarez, for winning the "People's Choice" Award on Saturday during Battle of the Arts! 🏆✨ Emer is automatically entered into the Grand Finale in December. It comes as no surprise that our staff is quite literally composed of artists—musical and beyond.
Ah, the beautiful synergy of jazz 😌. Hearing jazz is so gratifying because musicians are compelled to create on the spot! You can hear our trio magically responding to one another. In order to work with the subtleties and acoustics of the room, drummer Isaac even utilized a pillow AND a towel to blend his sound! #BTS #behindthescenes
This Saturday at Bell Tower. The competition is getting hot! 🔥 Our jazz trio performance is from 6-7 pm, while 25 artists compete next door from 5-8 pm. Battle of the Arts is both indoor and outdoor (see map). Last month, the Battle was moved indoors because of rain.

So excited for the season 🎶
If art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time 🌀
As a Symphony, it is a treat when we are able to bring art + music together, in this case through Battle of the Arts.
