Cuse’ Got Talent : C is for Czajkowski (or Tchaikovsky)

Tuesday, June 16th, 2015
Lawrence Czajkowski performs his original composition "Electric Fancy" at the Onondaga County Public Library Masterclass finale 2 last night at Lemoyne College.

Lawrence Czajkowski performed his original composition “Electric Fancy” at the Onondaga County Public Library Masterclass “Finale 2” on Monday.  Czajkowski (chy-KAWF-skee ) was the closing act.  The event featured nearly 20 artist performances and was held at Le Moyne College. The third finale will be held tonight.

Thanks to Larry Luttinger for inviting us to this event last night. The OCPL Masterclass sounds like a great way to expose emerging and under represented talent.  We also found out that the Masterclass is a free program. Check out below, as Larry (Luttinger) introduces another Larry (Czajkowski), and reminds us that CNY is also home to some great composers.

The program will be available via video/audio at ocplmasterclass.com.

Happy International Jazz Day

Thursday, April 30th, 2015


We thought we’d share our first glimpse of the Jazz at the Plaza series, coordinated by the Central New York Jazz Arts Foundation. The turn out on Wednesday was great,  but we hope the Le Moyne College location doesn’t replace the usual Jazz in the City block parties.

Week in Review

Rev. Bryan N. Massingale of Marquette University spoke at Le Moyne College’s Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Convocation earlier this week.  During his lecture, titled “A View from the Mountaintop,” he talked about racism as a soul sickness and how King’s fiery rhetoric still rings relevant today, especially as it relates to social justice.

Where do we go from here? Rev. Massingale teaches a little history and how it relates to our current climate.

Here is a short remix of a talk given by Pastor Harry Patterson of Abundant Life Christian Center that we heard this summer at Le Moyne College.

The theme is a great way for our city to look forward to 2014, and reflect on 2013.

Fringe Factor

Fringe Technical Director Gabriel Pinto occupies Saturday night with a sax solo.

Finally a cross-town collaboration between Lemoyne and SU (well,sort of). Le Moyne alums Jacob Ellison and Justin Sullivan used creativity and crowd funding to pull together the inaugural Syracuse Fringe Festival last weekend, and it was held at the Community Folk Art Center along the  Connective Corridor. The event featured three days of multi-disciplinary artistic endeavors.  We checked out the final day of the program, which featured David Doyle, Ruth Arena and Anna Phillips. Fringe was very reminiscent of the THINC Sideshow parties from a decade or so ago (except the demographic for the Fringe was slightly older).

What was most surprising on Saturday was to watch Phillips, who is the artistic equivalent of a love child between Missy Elliot (always ahead of the curve) and Steven Wright (wry humor), do a comedy show in the Black Box Theater and smoothly transition into a monologue about her life that was more compelling than a episode of HBO’s In Treatment.

Was it Something She Said? Anna Phillips the comic meets the Real Anna Phillips for an evening.

Was it Something She Said? Anna Phillips kept it real for Spatial Profiling.

Not that it wasn’t good, just unexpected. We look forward to Anna’s upcoming gigs, where she will bring the noise again with jokes at two shows locally: Chicks are Funny and Guns n’ Syrup.
