A Musical Melting Pot at the Mansion

A concert commemorating America’s 250th hosted by Raissa Katona Bennett and Arbender Robinson. Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum will present A Musical Melting Pot, a concert commemorating America’s 250th anniversary featuring Broadway stars Raissa Katona Bennett and Arbender Robinson. Raissa Katona Bennett and Arbender Robinson’s dynamic, feel-good night will pay tribute to the American dream and the legacy left for future generations. The show will focus on the creation of the Great American Songbook from 1776 to the present day, highlighting contributions by the immigrants who became Americans, American-born composers, as well as songs from “across the pond,” that have become deeply embedded in the fabric of American standards. From timeless classics to pop and Broadway favorites, this eclectic evening will feature powerhouse vocals and unforgettable storytelling, with musical direction by Mark Janas. They will be appearing together at this year’s legendary Mabel Mercer Foundation’s Cabaret Convention at Lincoln Center, where they will be sharing a piece of this show. Following the concert, guests will have an opportunity to tour the first floor as well as gather in the Mansion’s “Green Room” for delightful refreshments. All proceeds will benefit the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum’s educational and cultural programs. (Artists subject to change without notice.)
