A portion of proceeds will be donated to the “Songs for hope CD for Sandy Hook” to promote healing and raise funds for arts education in Sandy Hook.

“We are honored to welcome “Uncle” Gerry to New Haven to sing and dance with us! All of our families are very excited to hear Uncle Gerry’s familiar voice. We hope many local families will come out and enjoy a fun afternoon of music with their children,” says Music Folk director Liz McNicholl.

In addition to recording for Music Together, Gerry has worked and recorded with Grammy-nominated cellist, David Darling, and has contributed to the work of Music for People organization (David Darling, co-founder), an organization
dedicated to self-expression through improvisational music. Gerry was also a seven-year member of the world-renowned Chicago Symphony Chorus and traveled with the chorus and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to perform at the Concerthalle in Berlin, Germany, as well as in New York City at Carnegie Hall.
