Speaker: Stan Herman I Entertainer: Maria Corsaro

Speaker: Stan Herman, an icon of fashion, will tell us about his career as a fashion design pioneer.

Entertainer: Maria Corsaro - Maria Corsaro returned to her first love, singing, several years ago which led to a duo show at The Laurie Beechman Theater, her solo debut show at Don’t Tell Mama and various other performances at many of NYC and CT cabaret rooms. Jazz legend, Nancy Marano has said: “Maria brings intelligence, sensitivity, and authenticity

to every performance."  Her new show, YOU TAUGHT MY HEART TO SING, features songs that were originally strictly instrumental compositions. Lyrics were added, in some cases, many years later.  Genres include: Jazz, Brazilian, R&B, and Pop featuring composers such as Corea, Camilo, Tyner, Evans, Hersch, Foster and Mangione. Ricky Pope of Broadway World calls it: “A smart, engaging , sexy evening of jazz and stories…Corsaro is a fantastic singer with a beautiful instrument.” www.mariacorsaro.com
