I don't usually include events held in private residences in the listings or on the website because there is always the question of rights and royalties, and I am a stickler when it comes to songwriters being paid for their works (same goes to photocopying or faxing sheet music, when legal copies are available). But I will make an exception today because the event is for a good cause (THE ACTORS FUND) and the person honored by the event is Rick Starr, former manager of Hollywood Sheet Music, and one of the most beloved members of the Los Angeles music community.
Rick is in increasingly declining health. He's been in the hospital for several months now, facing a series of surgeries and complications that have him basically bedridden. Ever the cheerleader of the world's great songwriters, Rick has maintained a commitment to supervise a Salon Event called "Rick's Picks: A Tribute to Hugh Martin". The event will take place on Saturday, February 19th at 5:00 pm at a private home in Studio City, CA.
A galaxy of Cabaret favorites will perform the Hugh Martin Songbook: Andrea Marcovicci, Jason Graae, Brad Ellis, Shelly Markham, Barbara Minkus, Shelly Goldstein, and Dianne Fraser are among the celebrated singers who will be sharing their talents, and their love, for both Mr. Martin and Mr. Starr. Esteemed New York Pianist, Arranger and Vocal Coach Michael Lavine serves as Musical Director, and acclaimed Cabaret Director Clifford Bell, in collaboration with Rick, directs.
$20 donation includes refreshments. Get the exact location and make reservations by calling 323-769-6447.
