On August 6th, 4 Elements Music composers Henry Terepka and Chris Montegut, along with Yoga and Meditation Teacher Matthew Lombardo will play the Escape to Yoga Island festival. The festival on Governor’s Island is the first of its kind in NYC with free yoga classes and accompanying live music through out the day. Henry and Chris will be playing for an hour starting at 2:30pm while the yogis move through a class lead by the legendary Dharma Mittra. Even if you don’t practice yoga, you can still enjoy the music which will be an inspirational mix of ambient electronic drone, hypnotic grooves, ancient mantras, and mind altering sonic experimentation.

On Monday, December 13th, from 7pm-8:30pm at the Frederick Loewe Theatre @ NYU, our very own Rob Reale will be interviewing veteran Broadway composer Henry Krieger at the upcoming “Composer to Composer” event put on by the SCL (Society of Composers and Lyricists). We all had a great time at the last SCL event a year ago this week, when Rob interviewed composer Jeanine Tesori – we’re looking forward to another enlightening and entertaining evening this year with Henry Krieger! From the flyer:
“Come join the SCL and spend a very personal evening with Broadway veteran composer Henry Krieger as he is interviewed by fellow NY theater composer and SCL member Rob Reale.
Mr. Krieger’s credits include numerous musical theater scores including Dreamgirls, Side Show and The Tap Dance Kid. He is one of only three individuals ever to land a triple nomination for an Oscar in the Best Song category.
This SCL event will focus on Mr. Krieger’s own account of his journey from cabaret pianist to Broadway hitmaker as well as anecdotes from his long and successful career. Featuring live performances of several of his theater songs by Broadway stars Norm Lewis and Betsy Wolfe, as well as a surprise (and rare) performance of a Dreamgirls classic. Musical direction by Andy Einhorn.”
RSVP Details can be found on the SCL Event Flyer. We hope to see you all there!
