<h1>Zlock Performing Arts Center Presents ELEW Plays STING – The Music of Sting Reimagined</h1>
<h3>Where Rock Meets Jazz: An Electrifying Piano Experience Like No Other</h3>
Friday, November 6, 2026 at 7:30 PM
Newtown, PA – Prepare for an extraordinary evening of musical innovation as internationally acclaimed virtuoso pianist Eric Lewis, better known as ELEW, brings his explosive and imaginative interpretations of Sting's legendary music to the Zlock Performing Arts Center on Friday, November 6, 2026 at 7:30 PM.
Blurring the boundaries between jazz, rock, and classical music, ELEW has created a revolutionary performance style he calls Rockjazz, transforming familiar songs into powerful, emotionally charged musical experiences. For this special concert, ELEW turns his remarkable talents toward the iconic catalog of Sting, reimagining the legendary singer-songwriter's music with daring improvisation, sophisticated harmonies, and breathtaking technical mastery.
A native of Camden, New Jersey, Eric Lewis began studying piano at the remarkable age of two. His extraordinary musical abilities eventually earned him the prestigious Rodgers and Hammerstein full-merit scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music, setting the stage for a remarkable career that has taken him far beyond the traditional boundaries of jazz.
Over the years, ELEW has developed his own distinctive musical language, incorporating innovative techniques such as Counterbop and Rockjazz. His performances combine the improvisational freedom of jazz with the intensity and driving energy of rock music, creating a sound that is uniquely his own.
But ELEW is far more than an extraordinary pianist—he is a dynamic and theatrical performer who transforms the piano into an entire musical universe. Known for frequently playing while standing, attacking the keyboard with remarkable energy, and using percussive techniques directly inside the instrument, ELEW creates a visually captivating experience that must be seen as well as heard.
His artistry has even captured the attention of Sting himself. After hearing ELEW perform in a Manhattan club, Sting was so impressed that he invited the pianist to open performances on his My Songs 3.0 Tour—a remarkable endorsement from one of contemporary music's most celebrated artists.
Now, audiences at the Zlock Performing Arts Center will have the opportunity to experience this extraordinary musical connection firsthand.
Through ELEW's inventive interpretations, Sting's beloved compositions take on new dimensions, blending familiar melodies with unexpected harmonies, rhythmic intensity, and spontaneous musical exploration. The result is a concert experience that honors the original music while boldly taking it somewhere entirely new.
Whether you're a fan of Sting, a jazz enthusiast, a rock music lover, or simply someone who appreciates exceptional musicianship, ELEW promises an unforgettable evening of passion, creativity, and musical brilliance.

STAGE UNITED PRESENTS A NIGHT OF SONG &nbsp;in the BIG ROOM at THE TILEWORKS
MARTY O'REILLY and special guest YURI GOHEN This is a celebration of powerful, hand crafted songs from artists near + far.
On 11.07.26, enjoy the songs and stories of Marty O'Reilly + Yuri Gohen with special guest host, Joe Montone.
DOORS: 6:30PM
Delicious snacks and sips will be served.
MARTY O'REILLY Marty O’Reilly crafts timeless music that’s raw, soulful, and deeply rooted in Americana. Inspired by legends like Woody Guthrie, Howlin’ Wolf, and Sister Rosetta Thorpe, his sound captivates and connects. Known for his cathartic live performances, ranging from soft and haunting to wild and electric, Marty’s songs delve into love, loss, and connection. Over years of relentless touring, he’s built a dedicated following, performing with artists like Shakey Graves and at festivals like Bottlerock. Honest and real, Marty’s music stays with you long after you hear it.
YURI GOHEN Yuri Gohen is a singer, guitarist, banjoist, writer, and archivist of traditional folksong.
Inspired by diverse works, from the Harry Smith Anthology to the freak-folk of Michael Hurley, his 2025 full-length Who Killed Cock Robin has been called “a statement of intent from an artist clearly operating at the height of his considerable powers”.
Yuri aims to showcase the relevance of folksong to the modern world; both as an invaluable record of our shared history and as the fluid wellspring from which our shared present flows. Yuri Gohen will be hollering John Henry from the mountain until the day he dies.
JOE MONTONE Joe Montone has been writing songs and immersed in music for over half his life. He is also the Founder of Stage United -- a Bucks County based nonprofit inspiring communities through greater access to live concert experiences.

Online Auction

Alderfer Auction of Hatfield,&nbsp;PA, is honored to unveil an art discovery as the centerpiece of our upcoming December 10 Fine Art Auction: an unpublished, original oil portrait by one of the iconic American painters of the twentieth century, Alice Neel (1900–1984).
<h3>A Masterpiece Revealed: Dr. William Hanaway Jr.</h3>
·Estimate: $200,000 – $300,000 
·Market Status: Never publicly exhibited or published—completely fresh to the market. 
·Direct Lifelong Provenance: This exceptional canvas was presented directly by Alice Neel as a personal gift to Dr. Hanaway’s mother—her longtime close friend Nell Prince Hanaway. It has remained privately held within the sitter’s family line for decades until its consignment to Alderfer Auction. 
In Dr. William Hanaway Jr., Neel renders the young scholar, future University of Pennsylvania professor, and championship sailor with extraordinary sensitivity and graphic clarity. Positioned before a rhythmic flotilla of stylized white sailboats set against luminous ocean blues, the composition masterfully weaves his intellectual poise with his passion for the sea. It stands as an intimate testament to Neel’s ability to merge personal affection with formal daring.

<h3>Alice Neel: The Uncompromising "Collector of Souls"</h3>
Widely recognized today among the greatest portraitists in modern art history, Alice Neel was a singular, fierce visionary. Born in Pennsylvania and trained at the Philadelphia School of Design for Women (now Moore College of Art &amp; Design), she boldly forged her path through the heart of the twentieth-century American art world.
During the mid-century decades—when Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism completely dominated critical tastes and galleries largely shunned figurative work—Neel remained unswervingly committed to representing the human figure. She rejected the flattering conventions of society portraiture, instead describing herself as a “collector of souls.” Whether painting friends, family, writers, civil rights leaders, or neighbors across Spanish Harlem and Manhattan, she captured the raw psychological reality and vital spirit of her era.
While long under-recognized by an art establishment that favored abstraction and sidelined female artists, Neel's genius gained widespread acclaim through major retrospectives at the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and premier cultural institutions worldwide. Today, her works command center stage in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Met, the Tate Modern, and leading private collections globally.
