#ThrowBackThursday

Washington, D.C. Trip with AAP!

A few weeks ago, we had the opportunity to visit the nation's capitol and the NYU Washington, D.C. site.  It was an amazing trip and we have some photos to prove it!

2014 Winter Jazzfest

"The NYC WINTER JAZZFEST turns 10 years old in 2014. In celebration of this milestone Winter Jazzfest is expanding to five nights from January 7th through January 11th. The festival will be presented in 9 different venues and will feature over 90 different groups including over 400 musicians. Winter Jazzfest upholds the continued mission to showcase top quality jazz to industry professionals, avid jazz fans, and new audiences.

Winter Jazzfest was established in 2005 with the goal of introducing underexposed artists – those that impacted the jazz scene of that period — to professional presenters attending the Arts Presenters Conference (APAP). At that time, jazz groups were underrepresented, although they were (and remain) culturally essential to the continued development and future of the music and audiences. Winter Jazzfest is pleased to continue our mission of offering a forum for presenters and music enthusiasts to experience and support the future of jazz."

TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE FOR JANUARY 10th & 11th!

$35 - $55

Halloween in NYC

What did you do for Halloween?

Halloween in the US is a celebration for people of all ages!  Typical activities include trick or treating, pumpkin carving, and haunted houses.

So what did you do or learn this Halloween?  Hopefully some of you went to the Village Halloween Parade.  It is definitely a unique New York tradition that should not be missed!
