From Staen Island-
When St. Alban’s Episcopal Church in Eltingville launched its Music at St. Alban’s series six years ago, it didn’t seem terribly unusual.But almost immediately listeners recognized the obvious: The series is almost the only ambitious concert music available on the South Shore. It’s a valuable addition to the Island’s cultural fabric — one that funding cuts has failed to extinguish.Musicians who have considerable fame and much experience are regular attractions. The great film “ghost singer” Marni Nixon (the voice of Natalie Wood’s Maria in “West Side Story,” among many other dubbings) sang a benefit show for the series several years ago.Up next: The celebrated Quintet of the Americas will launch the 2010/11 season Sept. 19 at 3:30 p.m. with “Aires Tropicales: Dances from Around the World,” featuring wind arrangements of music by Piazzolla, Bernstein, Golijov and others.More here-
