Vocal Arts Presents: An Evening of American Song

Event location

Live! At 10th & G

945 G Street NW

Washington, District of Columbia 20001

Add to Calendar

The evening ranges freely across the American songbook, threading together the theater music of Sondheim, Rodgers and Hart, Bernstein, and Weill with the songs of Ives, Barber, and Liebermann, and the setting of poets as distinct as E. E. Cummings, Langston Hughes, and Allen Ginsberg. It’s a program that moves with ease between the bright patter of numbers like “The What-Cha-Ma-Call-It” and the aching intimacy of “Lonely House”—music that captures both the exuberance and the tenderness at the heart of the American voice.

Bliss brings to this repertoire a voice of exceptional beauty — bright, focused, and capable of extraordinary refinement — along with a natural feel for the wit, swagger, and vulnerability this music demands, whether he’s channeling Sondheim’s restless “Being Alive,” or the sly nostalgia of “One for My Baby.” Expect an evening that is as much a portrait of a nation’s music as it is a showcase for one of the outstanding tenors of his generation.

Peruvian Brothers Signage Up – “space has been vacant since the building first opened over 8 years ago.”

By Prince Of Petworth


660 North Capitol Street, NW at G Street

“The Peruvian Brothers serve authentic

“Comida Criolla”, the tastiest part of their Peruvian heritage rooted in Andean, Spanish, African and Asian influences.

The flavors that dominated their childhood in Lima are the tastes they craved most after moving to the United States.

Sandwiches like Pan con Chicharrón, an addictive combination of salted pork loin and sweet potato pair nicely with fresh sides and salads packed with Superfoods from Peru.

Recipes passed down in the Lanzone family as well as Chef Mario’s own original spins on traditional Peruvian favorites give the menu an authentic taste with a unique, healthy twist.

After twelve years of operation, the Peruvian Brothers have expanded from one original food truck to four food trucks, restaurants, concession stands at stadiums, theatres, zoos, farmer’s markets and a large scale catering company serving the entire District of Columbia metro area including Maryland and Virginia.”

Thanks to Vera and Erich for sending the latest on their expansion: (more…)
