Bass Guitarist John D'Ercole to Play St. Bart's, 3/1

Bass Guitarist, John D'Ercole will play a concert as part of the Great Music at St. Bart's Series on Sunday, March 1 at 3 pm.

D'Ercole will perform works of Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Brayssing and Carcassi.

A native of Lakeville, CT, John D'Ercole's music education extended from middle school to Berklee College of Music, where he focused on traditional jazz and contemporary music. Being greatly inspired by Andrés Segovia, John began transcribing classical works to the bass guitar and has since developed an extensive repertoire of works not normally associated with this instrument. His performances are in demand around the US.

Tickets at $25 and $15 for seniors and students will be available online at mmpaf.orgor by calling the Concert Office at (212) 378-0248. Tickets will also be available at the door on the evening of the concert. St. Bartholomew's is located at Park and 51stSt. in Manhattan.

The Great Music Series, produced by the Mid-Manhattan Performing Arts Foundation, Inc., offers a diverse variety of concerts from large scale choral works and organ concerts in the church to chamber music and jazz in the acoustically remarkable chapel. Crucial to the musical programming of the series is St. Bartholomew's Choir, a fully professional choir, and the Boy and Girl Choristers, renowned as one of the finest children's choir in the metropolitan area. The church also possesses an Aeolian/Skinner pipe organ of 168 stops, the largest in New York City and considered to be one of the greatest examples of the American Classic Organ of the 20th century.
