Ann Hampton Callaway, Hilary Kole and More to Take Part in HIDDEN TREASURES Benefit, 11/5

On November 5^th at 7 pm, the Theatre at Saint Peters (Home of the York Theatre) Lexington Avenue at 54^th Street will resound with the songs of Larry Kerchner ("Somewhere in Time") sung by some of today's most formidable singers: Headliner: Ann Hampton Callaway, Hilary Kole, Laurel Massé, Kevin Spirtas, Stacy Sullivan, Jeff Harnar, Eric Comstock & Barbara Fasano, Karen Oberlin, La Tanya Hall, Sidney Myer, Raissa Katona Bennett, Jill O'Hara and a host of others. Musical Director is Tex Arnold. The event is produced by Sandi Durell.

The Benefit evening will provide funds for two charities that support singers. Michael Feinstein's Great American Songbook Initiative that brings the music of the Great American Songbook to young people today, to preserve it for future generations by creating vocal competitions nationwide, winners attending the Songbook Vocal Academy and given an opportunity to not only receive scholarship funds to continue their studies, but also appear with Michael on one of his shows. The Mabel Mercer Foundation serves to both perpetuate the memory and spirit of its legendary namesake, Donald F. Smith, and to stimulate and promote public interest in the fragile and endangered world of cabaret.

"For me, the music of Larry Kerchner is an oasis of joy in a world where most music comes and goes very quickly. His songs embody the essence of the classic writers in a contemporary fashion. It is lovely to be associated with him" . . . Michael Feinstein
