St Mark’s in the Bowery 131 East 10th Street, New York, NY, United StatesJimmy 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 of them to the White House, from Leonard Bernstein and 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, with Damien Sneed, his jazz ensemble and gospel Chorale Le Chateau, violinist David Fulmer, soprano Sharon Harms and pianist Joan Forsyth performing favorites close to the President's heart.
