Music Kitchen Food for the Soul will present a concert for Brooklyn’s homeless on Thursday, August 26 – 7:00 PM at Turning Point Shelter in Brooklyn, New York.
Featured work will be a Mozart string quartet, performed by Music Kitchen Founder, Director and violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins, joined by cellist Nicole Johnson and other virtuoso performers.
Turning Point Shelter was the site of a May 18th performance by Music Kitchen, 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.
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.
