POMFRET  ---   Internationally acclaimed pianist Frederick Moyer and his Jazz Trio, will perform a benefit for Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Connecticut, at the Tang Performing Arts Center at The Rectory School at 4 p.m.  April 25. Ticket donations are available at the door and are $25 for adults and $10 for seniors and students.
This is one of many concerts that Frederick Moyer has generously performed for Habitat over the years.  The concert has become an annual event in memory of the Reverend David Picciano, who first introduced Mr. Moyer to Habitat and his Northeastern Connecticut audience more than 12 years ago.
Proceeds from the concert will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Connecticut, which has built and rehabbed 12 homes in the 10-town area.  The affiliate is planning to break ground in the near future for its next “Habitat build,” which is scheduled in the town of Brooklyn.
Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Connecticut also operates a ReStore, which recently relocated to 171 Providence St. in Putnam.  A grand opening for the ReStore is scheduled for early May.
“Habitat for Humanity of Northeast Connecticut is proud to once again host Frederick Moyer and his music.  We are fortunate to be able to bring a man with worldwide acclaim and talent to our area,” said Ronald P. Coderre, Executive Director
The Jazz Arts Trio consists of Moyer and his boyhood friend Peter Fraenkel on drums and Peter Tillotson on bass.  The group will feature the music of jazz greats Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Vince Guaraldi, Erroll Garner, Horace Silver, Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea.
“The Jazz Arts trio will bring the best trio performances of these historic piano giants to the Tang Center stage all in one two hour evening.  This is a can’t miss event,” said Coderre.
