Cabaret Singer Diana Templeton to Perform at Bronxville Public Library Sunday, October 12

Written by Friends of the Bronxville Public Library



Oct. 8, 2014:  Cabaret singer Diana Templeton will perform at the Bronxville Public Library on Sunday, October 12, at 4:00 pm in the Yeager Room.

Ms. Templeton will take listeners down memory lane with favorites like "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me" and "Teach Me Tonight." Her program highlights some all-time favorites from her 27 years in cabaret, with amusing anecdotes from her nightclub experiences and poignant remembrances.

Cabaret critic Andrew Martin said, "Diana Templeton's medley of 'When the World was Young,' 'One More Ride on the Merry-Go-Round,' Jacques Brel's 'Carousel,' and 'Colored Lights' is among the most breathtaking examples of cabaret artistry within the last decade."

Diana Templeton has had a varied career in show business. Her many credits include performances on TV and radio and at country clubs, cultural centers, and libraries. She has performed in the smartest Manhattan cabaret rooms, including The Russian Tea Room, the FireBird Cafe, Danny's Skylight Room, and the Hideaway Room at Helen's.

She has nine CDs to her credit. Her talent was recognized and honored by the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs when it presented her with their 2006 MAC Award for Best Female Vocalist.

The concert is free and open to the public; refreshments will follow the performance.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
