Jewish Community Center Manhattan to Present PREFORMANCES WITH ALLISON CHARNEY: PIANO-PALOOZA!

JCC Manhattan proudly launches the Winter/Spring segment of Season Seven of PREformances with Allison Charney on Monday, February 8th at 12:30pm with Piano-Palooza! Monday's performance features pianists Blair McMillen, Julia Zilberquit, Joel Fan and Craig Ketter as they join series founder and curator, soprano Allison Charney for an afternoon of music spanning 300 years from Bach-Vivaldi, Bach-Busoni to Puccini, Cilea, Strauss, Bartok, Ginastera and Joan Tower.

PREformances with Allison Charney is a unique concert series offering audiences rare opportunities to hear celebrated classical musicians just before their performances on the world's most prestigious stages, removing traditional barriers between performer and audience. In its first six years, PREformances has presented over 80 of today's most important classical musicians, nearly 30 of whom have appeared on the season multiple times.

Funds raised through patron support of the PREformances program will support both The Basser Center at the University of Pennsylvania and special programs at The JCC in Manhattan that promote early detection of cancer and care for those living with breast and ovarian cancer. Donations can be made here.
