Church Avenue Sessions
Sunday, April 18th, 5:00 pm. to 6:00 p.m.
Live music is back on Kensington's Church Avenue, and it's moved outdoors.
Flatbush Jewish Center's music series "Church Avenue Sessions" returns this month with a performance by Matt Darriau's Who Is Manny Blanc?
Matt Darriau, the long-time clarinetist with the world-renowned, Grammy-winning Klezmatics and a Kensington
resident, leads Who Is Manny Blanc? When Church Avenue Sessions began in March 2017, the group was its first performer.
From Flatbush Jewish Center:
"Who is Manny Blanc celebrates the music and aesthetic of the little known dynamic 60's Brooklyn musician and arranger. Blanc released an obscure yet astonishing LP in the early 60's called Jewish Jazz. Exotica meets jazz meets surf - from double electric guitars to harmonica driven duck-call dialogue. The LP is one of the earliest attempts at putting klezmer melody in a jazz and groovy context."
The series is normally held inside of the synagogue, but it will be held outside in the courtyard this year.
Pandemic precautions: Attendees must wear face masks. A maximum of approximately twenty-five people will be allowed in the courtyard to provide adequate space for social distancing.
