“Afternoon Delight”
Sunday, April 29, 2pm–4pm, JCCNV
Enjoy an afternoon of music with Frank Plumer, accomplished pianist and singer.
A musician from the age of 4, professional pianist and vocalist Frank Plumer is a versatile and experienced musician. An accomplished performer and composer, his extensive musical background and talent have enabled him to become a virtuoso at the piano, accordion and keyboard as well as a consummate entertainer for all ages. He will entertain us with a wide scope of popular music, including Broadway tunes, opera solos and Yiddish, Russian and Italian tunes and a sing-along.
Mr. Plumer performs weekly across from the White House and has played at various embassies in Washington, D.C. He has had people like Stevie Wonder, Jessica Alba, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Wolf Blitzer, former President Bush, Condoleeza Rice and Senator Lieberman around the piano while he “tickles the ivories.” He played for former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan’s private 80th birthday party!
Mr. Plumer will most likely be accompanied by his very musically talented children to add to the fun!
Dessert and beverages will be served.
