Intimate Series Of Benefit Concerts To Take Place This Fall
At “Live! From The Haven” In Elmsford, NY
A Maximum Of 75 Tickets Being Offered For Each Of Six High Profile Shows
With Proceeds Going To The Lagond School Of Music
Elmsford, NY – September 17, 2018 — They’ve been called “living room concerts,” the private
performances that allow a small group to book celebrity musicians for in-home concerts. Rosanne
Lana, who with her husband and business partner-saxophonist extraordinaire and teacher Charlie
Lagond run the Lagond Music School in Elmsford, NY, calls her upcoming series of intimate shows,
The Lagond House Concert Series.
“It’s the same idea as a living room concert,” she said. “Only our shows are both intimate and
affordable. The series, held at Lagond’s modest “Haven” theater starting on September 27th, will give
only 50 – 75 guests the opportunity to hear from artists who have historically graced much larger
performance spaces. How can they put on these small but affordable shows? “They’re benefits for
our non-profit after school music program, and the artists are contributing as well as the audiences.”
Veteran tour/production manager, touring consultant and owner of Westside World Management
Rich Nesin, curated the series. Nesin has worked with Herb Alpert, Kiss, Dion DiMucci, The Tedeschi
Trucks Band, Steel Pulse, Blue Oyster Cult, Steely Dan, The Neville Brothers and Dave Koz, just to
name a few.
