Sunday evening we attended a wonderful presentation by Opera Ebony featuring Kearstin Piper Brown and Arthur Woodley at the Bruno Walter Auditorium at Lincoln Center. This was our 3rd performance in the past year, and we've thoroughly enjoyed each one. Thanks to Gregory Sheppard, General Manager, for inviting us and keeping us updated on upcoming performances. Looking forward to the rest of the 2014 season!
