Catch Sierra and Marquee Five this Sunday 11/14 at THE JAMES FRADRICH MEMORIAL CONCERT DVD PARTY

From Kevin McMullan:

“Kevin McMullan presents

THE JAMES FRADRICH MEMORIAL CONCERT DVD PARTY

A benefit for the JAMES FRADRICH MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP for Classical Pianists and Composers at Lawrence University, Jim’s alma mater.

Many attended the all-star, now-legendary JAMES FRADRICH MEMORIAL CONCERT, exactly one year ago minus a day from the day of this event at St. Malachy’s Actors’ Chapel in NYC featuring some of the brightest talent from cabaret and Broadway. Many have been asking about the DVD.

My companion, the well-known off-Broadway composer, Jim Fradrich, was an extraordinarily talented, yet modest composer who kept his talents under wraps, and people hearing his music for the first time at the original concert were amazed, even stunned at the versatility and talent he had to offer. Jim’s compositions embraced classical, Great American Songbook and Broadway styles.

At the memorial concert, we barely scratched the surface of the musical legacy he left behind. The DVD party, a sort of “follow-up,” will be feature songs written by Jim that are not on the DVD, so whether you were at the concert or just want to hear some beautiful music from lush
ballads to comic ditties to swing, never before heard, now’s your chance! The DVD will be a gift to all who attend.
