The Concerts at Tudor City Greens Series were organized by Raissa Katona Bennett in 2008 to present the art and vitality of cabaret to an untapped audience while also promoting the concerts to increase donations for the Tudor City Greens parks.
The concerts are being produced in association with the Manhattan Association of Cabarets and Clubs (MAC) – an organization dedicated to the support and promotion of the art of live entertainment in NYC (www.MACNYC.com) This year, Tom Stajmiger, a producer of theatre, concerts and cabaret around the country, joins the series, as associate producer.
