HVG Centennial Concert Extravaganza!

For the final concert of PAG’s spring 2024 season, we’re celebrating the centennial of our beloved home, Hudson View Gardens. The program on Sunday, June 23 at 5 pm in The Lounge features classical and jazz selections from the 1920s, right around the time that HVG was built!

Nearly a dozen performers will take the stage at The Lounge for this special concert. The program features a special arrangement of George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue played by HVG resident pianists Evelyne Luest, David Kalhaus and Sasha Papernick. Also: the world premiere of a composition by Andy Didorenko written especially for the occasion and a 1924 work by Gabriel Faure played by cellist Angela Lee. The extraordinary jazz musicians, HVG residents Andrea Wood (vocals) and Ethan O’Reilly (bass) perform Tea for Two, The Man I Love and other 1920s popular favorites.

A festive reception follows the concert.
