Guilford Station Arts Club – Great Performances in Sterling Va

October 7, 6:00, join us for:
"FROM BROADWAY TO HOLLYWOOD:
Gems That Never Had a Chance"
Alex Hassan will treat us to an hour of "Between the Wars" piano music. When he's not playing avid professor, Alex is a master improvisor, bringing these nearly-century-old gems to life. The material Alex will present has been carefully culled from his personal 50,000-piece sheet-music library. What makes this show completely unique is that these are all pieces that never "made it" for one reason or another (e.g., written for a move with a terrible plot or simply forgotten by a busy composer.) Newcomers welcome! $25 includes a Lebanese meal by Mona.For more information and to sign up, visit http://guilfordstationarts.org
