This weekend is looking like Roosevelt Island will be chock full of free concerts. On Saturday, (also, Roosevelt Island Health & Fitness Day ) the Rosemarie & Robin Russell Family Concert series will have a night of music featuring a classical trio playing Schumann, Bach and Mozart. On Sunday afternoon (2:30 PM) the Mother Lode Trio , described as “sophisticated folk with a touch of motherhood” perform at the Church of the Good Shepherd. The Daily News says of the Mother Lode Trio:
They have jobs. They have kids. They do the laundry. But in their spare time they’re plugging and playing away.
Here’s a You Tube video of the Mother Lode Trio performing “The River is Wide” at the Clearwater Festival in 2005.Enjoy the Weekend!
