Habitat East Village with Damien Sneed and Friends

Jimmy Carter's first Habitat for Humanity project was in the East Village, off Tompkins Square Park. Carter had a love for music and musicians of every ilk and, as President, he brought many wonderful artists to the White House. They ranged from Dizzy Gillespie to the great pedagogical pioneer Shinichi Suzuki. He saw music as a healer and a bridge between diverse groups, and recognized excellence in all genres.

Following the gamelan concert, join us inside the church as we revisit some of that music, featuring composer/pianist/improviser/choral director Damien Sneed and his Chorale de Château, with soprano Sharon Harms, violinist David Fulmer, pianist Joan Forsyth

Gospel, Jazz and Dylan and other music close to the President's heart.
