hosted by Jo Andres & Steve Buscemi

Prolific composer, guitar virtuoso, and multi-instrumentalist Elliott Sharp is an innovative leader in the New York arts community and a long-time supporter of ISSUE Project Room. Elliott’s rich history of collaboration with artists from various genres has been featured on hundreds of recordings and in live performances internationally.

Please join us on March 4, 2011 at the future home of ISSUE Project Room, a historic jewel-box theater designed by McKim, Mead & White at 110 Livingston in Downtown Brooklyn, for our first benefit event in the space in celebration of Elliott’s 60th birthday.

This special event is hosted by Jo Andres and Steve Buscemi and proceeds will provide support for groundbreaking new work by hundreds of artists in our community.

The celebration begins at 7 p.m. with a VIP cocktail reception, food, and exclusive premiere performances by Elliott Sharp with Jo Andres, Steve Buscemi, Jack Womack, and Tracie Morris. The new commissioned work for double quartet will be premiered by the JACK and Sirius Quartets at 8, followed by an after-party from 9–11:30.

VIP Tickets are $250 ($200 tax-deductible), and are available for purchase through Brown Paper Tickets.
