Free Concert, Regional Business Expo

Each day, Patch provides the nuts and bolts of local happenings with our five-bullet local dispatch. 

1) Events: Free Concert at The JCCat 450 West Nyack Road in West Nyack at 2:30 p.m. Entertainer Avrum Pengas was born in Greece.  His quicksilver fingers led him from playing lead guitar in the Israeli Air Force Band to performing at many of New York's finest venues. A skilled musical arranger, lead guitarist and self-taught virtuoso on the bouzouki, a stringed Greek instrument, Pengas creates music that is rooted in the Mediterranean and the Middle East and draws upon Eastern and Western musical elements. Refreshments will be served. This program is sponsored by Friedwald Center and open to the public. Register at 845-362-4400 x100
