Apr. 22, 2020: Concordia Conservatory will, for the first time, broadcast a Hoch Chamber Music Series concert. The broadcast will take place on Saturday, April 25, at 7 pm via the Concordia Conservatory YouTube channel, Optimum channels 19, 74 and 75, and Fios channels 34, 40, and 47.
Concordia College and the Conservatory hope that the joy of music – so evident in every concert of the beloved Hoch Series – brings comfort in a trying time.
The Conservatory is suggesting that if possible, music lovers make a night of it by enjoying a pre-concert Zoom cocktail party with friends and family, and take-out dinner delivery to support their favorite local restaurants.
The broadcast features Grammy Award-winning violist Lawrence Dutton of the Emerson String Quartet and bassist John Patitucci at Concordia College's Sommer Center, with Broadway's Golden Couple soprano Marin Mazzie and tenor Jason Danieley, violinists Elizabeth Lim-Dutton and Jee Sun Lee, cellist Julia Lichten, the Chamber String Orchestra, and the John Patitucci Trio. This cherished 2012 concert featuring songs of the heart took place before Mazzie's tragic death from cancer in 2018.
The first half of the concert includes Bach's The Art of the Fugue, No. 15, Mozart's String Duo, KV, 423, Dohnanyi's Serenade—Vivace, and Dvorak's Quintet No. 2 in G major, Op. 77—Scherzo & Trio. The second half features Broadway and concert stars Marin Mazzie and Jason Danieley singing a timeless array of songs, including My Foolish Heart, Be Careful, It's My Heart, and My Heart Stood Still with the Chamber String Orchestra featuring Lawrence Dutton and the John Patitucci Trio.
Jim Hoch has generously committed to supporting Concordia during this global pandemic. Details will be announced at the top of the broadcast on April 25.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
