MOTOR CITY MUSIC LEGENDS PERFORM WITH STUDENT
ORCHESTRA IN NEW YORK CITY
NEW YORK - The Spinners, Richard Street's Temptations,
and Martha Reeves & the Vandellas will perform
a special New York City show - dubbed "Legends
of Motor City" - supported by an orchestra
of young musicians from Delaware State University,
a historical Black College and University, on
June 10 at the Hammerstein Ballroom.
The orchestra will utilize a team of musicians/educators
as section leaders to help the students achieve
a new level of performance. It is a real world
experience that allows them a glimpse into the
demanding professional music arena.
"We've all heard about 'Saving the Music'
at the educational level," said Mariano Longo,
President, Musiquest: Artists and Students in
Concert. "Taking it a step further, I believe
we have a 'working model' that ensures today's
professionals can pass on their musical knowledge
and experience to the young artists of tomorrow.
Working with these young people reaffirms my belief
in the future of the arts in our society."

locations, Tower Records, J&R Music World,

Artists & Students in Concert.

performers to our audiences, as we create entertainment,
