I received the following message from the good folks at the Rosemarie & Robin Russell Family Concert Series. They will be holding a free afternoon of classical music – Celebrating with Bach – on Sunday December 21 here on Roosevelt Island at the Good Shepherd Community Center. Their previous Roosevelt Island concerts have been excellent and well attended.
