BY JENNA BAGCAL
Over the next few months,
Flushing Town Hall is bringing
back its much-anticipated
live performances for audiences
to enjoy.
The festivities begin on
July 30 with “Proud Mary
— Rock & Roll Ladies” featuring
powerhouse vocalist
Emilie Surtees and her band
and continue on Aug. 20 with
“Beautiful Vibration — Colors
of African Music” showcasing
the talents of awardwinning
vocal virtuoso Gino
Sitson.
Beginning in 2020, Flushing
Town Hall continuously
delivered online arts and culture
programs to audiences
when New York City still
had COVID-19 restrictions in
place. In January 2021, the organization
had presented 132
hours of online programming
in the form of concerts, dance
performances and cultural
celebrations.
“We are excited to open
our doors again,” Executive
and Artistic Director Ellen
Kodadek said. “New Yorkers
are hungry for the return of
live music and events, and
we are delighted to bring outstanding
artists to our venue
who will deliver tons of great
energy. We have planned our
reopening carefully to maintain
COVID safety measures
for all who pass through our
doors.”
New York City-based
group The Emilie Surtees
Experience Band will delight
audiences as FTH’s first inperson
concert since COVID
19 in “Proud Mary — Rock
and Roll Ladies.” The tribute
concert will feature songs
from female vocalists from
’60s and ’70s soul, R&B, pop
and contemporary genres,
including hits like “What’s
Love Got to Do with It” by
Tina Turner or Heart’s “If
Looks Could Kill.”
The following month, FTH
will welcome Cameroonian
musician Gino Sitson to perform
“Beautiful Vibration
— Colors of African Music,”
an “energetic combination
of new sounds” featuring
percussion, vocals and lyrical
melodies. Accompanying
Stitson’s vocals, body percussion
and compositions will be
acoustic guitarist and vocalist
Marvin Sewell and Lonnie
Plaxico on the double bass.
FTH is offering viewers
both virtual and in-person
tickets for both concerts. To
ensure general safety and in
honor of FTH’s 42nd anniversary,
only 42 in-person tickets
will be available for purchase.
Both programs will
be streamed live online and
virtual ticket holders will receive
the link and a reminder
before the show.
Virtual tickets are $7 and
$5 for members and 42 in-person
tickets are $12 and $10 for
members.
