SUMMARY:Opening Reception for Joan Kim Suzuki: Modern Korean Folk Art
DESCRIPTION:Joan Kim Suzuki is a Korean-American artist whose mission is to show the beauty of her culture to people who were raised in multicultural or immigrant families like herself. She grew up confused about her identity\, not sure whether she should identify as Korean or American. But after a long life-changing journey\, she began to create art\, and the puzzle pieces of her identity began to fit together again. She hopes that her Modern Asian artwork will be an expression of how beautiful being both Asian and American can be\, and she also wishes for younger generations to embrace this idea with confidence and joy. \nHer upcoming exhibition will be in honor of AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) Heritage month; all the sweat\, tears\, and prayers of our ancestors who left everything behind in order to give their children a bright future will be honored during this month of May. Her story will be woven into the canvas with the brilliant colors of Asia\, creating an immersive experience\, and putting vivid color back into the black-and-white faded memories of her family’s past. \n\n\n\n\nFollowing the Opening Reception\, the exhibition will be on display at Westbury Arts through May 27\, 2023. The gallery will be open for viewing on the following days: \n\nThursdays from 12:00 PM until 4:00 PM\nFridays from 2:00 PM until 6:00 PM\nSaturdays from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM\n\n  \nThis program is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program\, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature\, and is administered by The Huntington Arts Council\, Inc.

SUMMARY:Westbury Arts Winter Concert Series presents: StrongMountain!
DESCRIPTION:Rhythm guitar\, vocals – Tony Monteforte\nLead guitar\, euphonium\, percussion – Thomas Monteforte\nBass guitar\, Percussion – Albert Monteforte\nDrums\, percussion – Cole Vincenti\n  \nTwo Carle Place High School musicians (brothers) have blended the electric bass\, electric guitar and baritone instruments to form original Rock n’ Roll music with the help of their father on rhythm guitar and Carle Place cousin on drums. The music stems from sixties and seventies rock influences with the blues foundations. Adhering to the simplicity of the driving hard rock riff while also appreciating guitar melody and musical improve\, these bandmates want to preserve the old fashion roots of Rock n’ Roll. StrongMountain is an outlet for these talented musicians to showcase their talents as performers and songwriters.\n  \nRhythm guitarist Tony Monteforte is an amateur songwriter and electric guitarist who is self taught. He is the father of Thomas and Albert. Albert Monteforte (bass guitar) has been playing the french horn since 2017 and is currently a sophomore in Carle Place High School. This 16 year old musician plays electric bass for his high school Jazz band as well as the french horn in the HS Band. Albert also co-writes much of the music. Thomas (lead guitar\, euphonium\, percussion) at just 14 years old is a three time NYSSMA participant who has performed twice on euphonium as a member of the all-county (Nassau) band which performs a concert each year at the Tilles Center. Thomas also plays euphonium for his High School jazz and regular band. Cole Vincenti (drums) is a recent graduate of Carle Place High school. His passion for drums and percussion dates far back into his youth. He has played with many notable professional musicians in his spare time as a youngster as well.\nThe Monteforte family has long roots in the Westbury and Carle Place communities. Tony’s mom\, Grace (85) was born and raised in Carle place starting in the late 1930’s when there were more milk cows and farms than residential homes. She can tell you why they called Carle Place the “Frog Hollow”. Albert Thomas Monteforte was the grandfather of Thomas and Albert who was a trumpet player for the Westbury High school back in the fifties.\n  \nFinally\, StrongMountain would like to add that we love rock n’ Roll and our goal is to play it as simple and exciting as possible. Rock music is in need of a refresh. We will deliver it to make it fresh again.\n  \nTickets are free for general admission or $5.00 (plus Eventbrite fee) for reserved seating. Seating is limited\, so advance registration or purchase is required.
