BAMM in Mahopac

April
21

BAMM, which stands for books, art, music in Mahopac, is a new program begun this winter at the Mahopac Public Library. Programs highlight local musicians and artists, and of course, books.

Many of musicians included in the BAMM concert series are local residents who perform nationally or internationally but are less familiar to Putnam audiences. This series highlights the talents of these professional local artists and will feature contemporary, traditional and original music. Literary and art workshops will complement several of the scheduled concerts.

The second event in this series is at 2 p.m. this Sunday, April 27th, with a concert of reggae, Hawaiian bluegrass, gospel and contemporary pop music. It features Amici Duo ~ Music of Latin America with Stuart Levin on flute and Yuri Ludevig on classical guitar. This duo will be performing pieces by John Duarte, Astor Pizolla, Laurindo Lameida and Antonio Carlos Jobim. It is geared for ages 14 & up.

Support for BAMM at the Mahopac Public Library has been provided by the Mahopac National Bank and the Friends of Mahopac Public Library. Additional funding has been provided with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program. In Putnam County, the Decentralization Program is managed by the Putnam Arts Council.

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
