Music Kitchen Food for the Soul will present a concert for New York City’s homeless on Wednesday, May 26 – 11:45 AM at Church of the Holy Apostles – 296 Ninth Avenue at 28th St. in Manhattan.
Featured work will be Brahms’ G Major Sextet, performed by Music Kitchen Founder, Director and violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins, joined by violinist Orlando Wells, violists Helena Baillie and Gillian Gallagher, and cellists Amy Barston and Alexis Gerlach.
This follows a May 18th performance by Music Kitchen at Turning Point Women's Shelter in Brooklyn, where Ms. Hall-Tompkins performed Mark O'Connor's String Quartets number 2 and 3 with the composer, plus violist Gillian Gallagher and cellist Patrice Jackson.
Music Kitchen Food for the Soul performances are not public concerts but rather in-house concerts for the shelter or soup kitchen clients. All guests must please RSVP to Kelly Hall-Tompkins at 917-532-5547 or MusicKitchenNYC@aol.com.
Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen has been a symbol of hope and compassion in the Chelsea section of Manhattan since 1982. Housed in the landmark Church of the Holy Apostles, the Soup Kitchen serves over 1,200 hot nutritious meals each and every weekday, including holidays. Anyone who comes to our door is welcome – without question or qualification. Since the Soup Kitchen first began in October 1982, it has served over 6.5 million meals. Visit them at http://www.holyapostlesnyc.org/haskhome.htm.
Kelly Hall-Tompkins (http://www.kellyhall-tompkins.com) founded Music Kitchen Food for the Soul in March of 2005 in order to bring musicians together to share the inspirational, therapeutic, evocative and uplifting power of chamber music with New York City’s disenfranchised homeless shelter population. They have, to date, presented more than 30 concerts for this population. Music Kitchen is based at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Shelter on 65th Street and Central Park West and the Olivieri Center. Their performances are designed to be accessible, interactive and informative so that the listeners will come away with an emotional connection to the music and a familiarity with the context from which the composer wrote the works. They have been the subjects of articles in The New York Times, Strings, Chamber Music magazine and Spirituality & Health.
