A tradition of bringing together sublime chamber music, distinguished performers and musical commentary, all in convivial surroundings.
Close Encounters With Music is at the intersection of music, art and the vast richness of Western culture. Entertaining, erudite, live commentary puts the composers and their times in perspective.
The News in Revue began as Nancy Holson's dream as a 1991 workshop in Norwalk, Connecticut. Along with Steve Sasloe as Musical Director, she recruited a local cast and mounted the first production of "The News." The response was so enthusiastic that Phyllis, Mel and Nancy Holson decided to form ADF Productions, Inc. and take the show to New York. It ran Off Broadway for 120 performances during the 1992 election season. During that time, it was well-reviewed by the New York press.
