Sunday Afternoons Live Concert Series

The Return of Sunday Afternoons Live in
February


4:00 pm in the Auditorium of First Congregational Church of Greenwich


108 Sound Beach Avenue, Old Greenwich (across from
Binney Park) 


It
is with great excitement that First Music
and Arts of The First Congregational Church of Greenwich presents another
outstanding season of Sunday Afternoons Live held each Sunday
in February at 4:00 pm in the intimate setting of our auditorium, complete with
coffee, tea, and light snacks.

Our season, this year, is gratefully
underwritten by the late Stella Miazga, a non-church member who attended our
concerts and generously bequeathed funds to support the series after her
death.  Tickets are $20/person (available
at the door), and all school-aged youth are free.  



The season begins
on February 2 at 4:00 pm with Sax-O-Philm,
Chad Smith, saxophone.

Sax-O-Philm is a unique
theatrical concert experience which recreates the atmosphere of the
1920’s.  It is a fully scripted and produced show, featuring the music of
vaudeville saxophonist Rudy Wiedoeft, as performed by Broadway saxophonist Chad
Smith, on both alto and c melody saxophones.  Sax-O-Philm will transport audiences of all ages back to

a time during which radio, ragtime, silent movies and flappers were all the

rage.  Projected silent films, photo
montages, and interesting anecdotes of the period round out the show.


Piano
and harp accompany Chad to capture the unforgettable sound of the Golden
Age.  The storyline embodies the character of Wiedoeft through his style,
humor, charm and showmanship.  Sax-O-Philm’s
unique blend of live music, world-class talent and multimedia make this a
concert event unlike any other.  Please visit saxophilm.com for more information.


Chad
Smith is a Broadway, film recording and concert performer.  He has been a
member of the Broadway orchestras of Wicked,
Legally Blonde, Follies and A
Christmas Story.



Our
season then continues with:
