OCTOBER 29th IN NYC: AN EVENING WITH STEVE ROSS WITH SPECIAL GUEST NANCY ANDERSON - FEATURED CABARET BENEFIT EVENT
Steve Ross, "the Crown Prince of New York Cabaret," will perform the music of Cole Porter, Noel Coward, Stephen Sondheim and other famous composers at MERKIN CONCERT HALL at the KAUFMAN CENTER (129 West 67th Street, NYC - 212-501-3330 - http://www.merkinconcerthall.org/ ) on Saturday, October 29th at 7:30 pm. Proceeds of the benefit concert will support Heartbeats Of the World, Inc. The mission of Heartbeats of the World ("HOW") is to enrich the lives of women, adolescents, and children in underserved areas of the world by providing medical resources and educational opportunities to address poverty, unemployment and the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, and teenage pregnancy. Through prevention and training, we will diminish the impact of these conditions and improve lives. Founded in 2002 by Dr. Karlene ChinQuee, Heartbeats of the World, Inc. evolved from a lifelong pursuit of humanitarian causes. When Dr. ChinQuee heard Maya Angelou speak about the problems in Jamaica and how people should feel empowered to do more to address them, she launched her own grassroots organization, and HOW transformed from an idea to a reality. In 2008, two hurricanes rendered inoperable our principal school on the island of Jamaica. Teaching is now done at a temporary facility. HOW desperately needs funds to construct a new school building and to help us expand our teaching activities.A fixture for over 45 years and now a legend in the cabaret community, Steve Ross reopened the Oak Room at the Algonquin Hoten and has appeared internationally in London, Paris, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Sydney, among other cities. In New York he performed at Ted Hook's Backstage, the Hotel Algonquin, Cafe Carlyle, Stanhope Hotel, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Birdland. Steve's very special guest will be musical star performing artist, Nancy Anderson.
