November 2 Concert Benefits Land Trust
ONEONTA—The first Otsego Land Trust Benefit Concert for Land and Water Conservation promises an afternoon of music, food and fellowship on Sunday, November 2 beginning at 2 p.m. in The Loft at Foothills Performing Arts and Civic Center, 24 Market Street.
The concert will feature jazz standards and favorites performed by Gerry and Emily Falco, Sara Albright, and Stan Fox, along with Rob Hunt, Rich Mollin, and Orion Palmer. Tickets are $50.00 per person and are available at otsegolandtrust.org/events.
According to officials, the benefit concert was organized by Oneonta resident Stan Fox to highlight the need to protect local farms, forests, and wetlands and to promote public access to nature.
“This fundraiser is a wonderful opportunity to show support for the environmental character of the Upper Susquehanna Region,” said Fox.
OLT holds conservation easements on more than 12,000 acres of privately-owned land and manages six nature preserves for free public access and enjoyment.
Sara Albright of New Lisbon, one of the featured performers, is excited to bring people together in support of the land trust.
“The program will include a variety of song styles to suit every taste,” Albright promised. “We’ll be performing pieces made famous by Eddie Cantor, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles and others.”
