GalleryMC: Open mic Mondays Part 1

Opening shot, @ the bar. 

These photos are from the open mic launch(9/26/11)@ GalleryMC, which will be happening once a month. The event was the brain-child of Milica Paranosic(Juilliard, a composer, teacher, and beautiful artist from Serbia). The event featured excerpts from "Goddess Chronicles", Skana and more, and Composers Concordance. 

The other amazing talents were Muriel Louveau, Emily-Pope-Blackman, Margaret Lancaster, Lynn Bechtold, Gene Pritsker, Dan Barrett,  and Dan Cooper, with video footage by Carmen  Kordas. Photos by K.K.W, Nikon cool-pix L22. If you would like your event photographed please call 347-328-7903, or Kerwinares@yahoo.com. "Art is the reason, art is the way"

@ the bar, again. The bartender
for the evening was Mirjana(slender blonde),
very charming, and fun to talk to.

The set-up. The whole show was like a
fantastic blending of old world musical style
and modern tech generated sounds.

The place wasn't packed, but this made for a more
calm, private show.

"Emily joins Muriel to create dance works in response
to her(Muriel's)singing. Her solo will echo to the variable
tones reflected in Muriel's voice, contrasting between
strength and fragility".

@ the bar, yet again:) It was the smallest bar I've ever
been to, but by far the best on the upper west side.
At least that evening.

Mirjana is also from Serbia. She enjoys pursuing
art, making guitars, good drinks, and her friends.
