THE CORCORAN GROUP
NYC alive with Music
BROOKLYN | MAY 2016

I love to sing. Nothing makes me happier than making a joyful noise. And the month of May is made of music.

I know, I know "don't quit your day job". And I wouldn't want to, matching people with places is what I was meant to do. I am an amateur songstress and I am blessed to sing with both professional and amateur musicians on a weekly basis. Because I joined my chorus 23 years ago, I have had the honor of singing with American musical greats like Peter SeegerFontella Bass & Taj Mahal. In the past 25 years, the Lafayette Inspirational Ensemble has sung for dignitaries such as Bishop Desmond Tutu, Bill Clinton & Nelson Mandela. And in 2007 we were in a documentary produced by Phil Donahue called Body of War.

On Sunday, May 15 at 4:00pm, the Lafayette Inspirational Ensemble will have our 25th Annual Spring Concert. And on the 21st, my favorite parade, THE DANCE PARADE, will by wending their way from the Flatiron District to Tompkins Square Park. My friend Yana was one of the founders of the parade which started out as a protest of the Cabaret Laws, but now is also a beautiful multicultural event.

Please reach out to me if you have any real estate specific questions, have questions about some newsletter topic, would simply like to discuss current market conditions, or wish to receive real estate news about your neighborhood.
