Brick Church Music SeriesConcert #5 - February 20, 2009An Evening of Contemporary Jazz
featuring
'Picture This', with Al Teodosio (opener)and a very special cameo appearance by the LaStrada SistersThe Brick Church Music Series concert on February 20 featured the popular contemporary jazz quartet
'Picture This'. The quartet features Jerome Monachino (guitar/voice), Peter Engisch (keys), Matt DeLuca (drums), and Gary Matthews (ac.& el. bass). Al Teodosio, a remarkable young jazz guitarist who is a junior at St. Michaels College, opened the evening. Al Myers of WCS was the emcee.
The concert was a benefit performance for
The Connecting Youth Mentoring Program and was hosted by CY Mentoring volunteers. There was also a special cameo performance by some ambassadors for the CY Mentoring program, the singing LaStrada Sisters. Michelle is in grade 8 and Mahoganie in grade 7; both are WCS students hailing from Swift House. Starr is a 6th grader at WCS from Voyager House. They were joined by sisters Annie (in 4th grade) and Arianna (in 2nd grade).
We were also fortunate to have Williston watercolor artist Nancy Stone show her work before the show, and during the intermission. Nancy brought several paintings done from sketches she made at the January Brick Church Concert featuring Pale Fire and Busted Brix.
The event was very generously supported by
Langrock Sperry and Wool, the
Chittenden Bank, and by Chris Lothrop and
Music Services of Vermont. All of the Brick Church Music Series concerts are generously supported by the
Williston Observer,
AdAstra Recording Studios, and the
