Broadway on a Porch
Friends and neighbors gather for an outdoor concert in Sea Cliff

While many concert venues presented their last performance of the season at the end of August, close to 40 North Shore residents enjoyed a “Best of Broadway” concert on Sunday, September 4, 2022, by local tenor, Joe Stroppel, at the DiPietro home in Sea Cliff. Dan and Ann DiPietro were thrilled to host the concert on their porch. “Dan and I feel so privileged to have the amazingly creative Stroppels in our lives - and to have Joe perform on our porch was truly a dream come true!,” said Ann when reached at the DiPietro home this past Monday morning.

Residents of Sea Cliff and from neighboring municipalities gathered for the concert, which featured many Broadway favorites. Joe, who is the son of Liz and Fred Stroppel of Glen Cove, is a Music Performance major at Hunter College. He is currently developing a show along with pianist Tess Loucka, which is already available for bookings on Long Island and in New York City.
