The Greene Space
Battle Of The Boroughs - 7pm
44 Charlton Street New York City NY 10014 USThe Battle of the Boroughs is back for its fourth year! We put out the call for our citywide talent quest and hundreds of New York City's best emerging artists answered — bands and ensembles of all genres, instrumentalists, vocalists and DJs.
The Greene Space team whittled the submissions down to 64 acts representing all five boroughs. Now, these artists will do battle (see schedule below) for a chance to represent their borough in The Ultimate Battle on June 21. They'll compete not only for bragging rights, but prizes that are a dream for any aspiring artist: a featured concert in The Greene Space; a guest artist appearance at the famed Apollo Theater's Amateur Night; a live video webcast of their performance; a professional, multi-track recording session; a Tekserve package, including iPads; a professional photo shoot; and a produced music video.
Award-winning WQXR host Terrance McKnight returns as Battle series emcee. He'll be joined by an esteemed panel of judges, including: Geri Allen, pianist; John Schaefer, host of Soundcheck; Wes Jackson, Executive Director of the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival; Christian McBride, bassist and composer; Nona Hendryx, singer, songwriter, and producer; Franco Iemmello, Capitol Records; Chris Bannon of WNYC; Mike Rinzel of WQXR; Steve Pageot, Grammy Award-winning composer; and Hakim Bell, producer and songwriter.
Thanks to all the incredible artists who submitted to this year's quest. The entries left us inspired and were a testament to the excellence, range, diversity and vibrancy of New York's arts and music scene. And now (drum roll, please) we're excited to announce the 2013 Battle of the Boroughs contestants below. Let's get ready to battle!

The huge pipe organ at Riverside Church in Manhattan howls two loud chords as the doors to the chapel open and the 2500 pairs of eyes of those seated in the pews turn to witness an unusual processional. You are invited to join us, too, as our One Spirit Interfaith Seminary and Interspiritual Counseling class of 2011 steps forward into their ministries at their commencement ceremony and celebration.
The processional is like none other seen. No matching, coordinated caps and gowns here. Each new graduate has chosen their unique expression of the sacred as they proceed down the aisle in the vestments that most clearly represent who they are. It is like a rainbow, the only effort at coordination being the ministerial stoles that hang from their necks. The colorful parade ensues. Each graduate carries a white rose, symbolizing the mystical truth at the core of each faith tradition, and representing each heart pouring itself out in love. The roses form a grand bouquet that stands at the center of the ceremonial space.A moving Interfaith/Interspiritual worship service unfolds, with blessings and prayers shared by clergy from many of the worlds great traditions.
We invite you to join us in honoring and celebrating the graduation of the One Spirit Interfaith Seminary Class of 2011, and to experience the awe and splendor of this special rite of passage

A Course In Miracles
A Course In Miracles - 6:30
44 East 32nd Street 11th floor NY NY 10016 USA 212-685-2848Glen Ganaway and I teach A Course in Miracles class at T.R.S. every other Wednesday from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. We start at 7:00pm. The Room is under Roger Mapes.
We go over the calendar lessons, but our focus is on learning the thought system it teaches. Some of those attending are doing the lessons much slower than one a day. Some attending are not doing the lessons, but reading the book only. It doesn't matter. It is the use of the concepts that will prove that the ideas are true.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
There in lies the Peace of God.
Join us for a discussion of A Course in Miracles.
January 5th and 19th
February 2nd and 16th
March 2nd and 16th and 30th
And so on....
Email me, call me! And I'll be glad to answer any questions.
