Broadway On The Sound And Mariachi Fusion At Harbor Island

MAMARONECK, NY — The star power that is coming to Harbor Island Park this summer will likely never be found collected in such an intimate and picturesque venue ever again — certainly not for the low, low price of free.

There is no need to choose between the two performances in the series. Why not just go to both?

Broadway on the Sound

July 28, at 7 p.m.
(Rain Date Jul 29, at 7 p.m.)

Westchester resident Melanie Kraut and her band will be joined by Ryan K. Bailer and Arbender Robinson to perform Broadway favorites live.

Kraut is a classically trained coloratura soprano and has starred in Gotham!, The Gondoliers and Americana. She also co-starred with Robin Williams on the CBS prime time drama, L.A. Doctors.

Her impressive resume also includes headlining Brooklyn Bowl, The Capitol Theatre and opening for Eric Clapton. Her debut solo cabaret at City Winery NYC was a sold out show.

Baritone Ryan K. Bailer has performed as Juan Peron in Evita, Javert in Les Miserables, Pat Denning in 42nd Street and Captain von Trapp in The Sound Of Music.

Arbender Robinson is a 10-time Broadway veteran, who has appeared in shows such as the revivals of Les Miserables and Ragtime, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, The Lion King, Book of Mormon and Hairspray.

Flor de Toloache

Aug 18, at 7 p.m.
Rain Date Aug 19, at 7 p.m.

Latin Grammy-winning Flor de Toloache is led by singers Mireya I. Ramos and Shae Fiol. Evoking the early days of mariachi, the group started as a trio with harp, violin and vihuela. Today, Flor De Toloache’s members hail from all around the world, including Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Italy and the United States.

The band credits this “cultural bouquet” for its uniquely edgy and fresh take on traditional Mexican music. “They coalesce as would a band of sisters, with a grace and vibrant beauty that casts a spell over their audiences, not unlike the legendary Toloache flower still being used in Mexico as a love potion" from which the band derived its name.

The band’s live performances have earned accolades from Rolling Stone, Billboard Magazine, The New Yorker, GQ Magazine and The New York Times.
