Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary plays a benefit concert for children and families.
Peter Yarrow’s gift for songwriting has produced some of Peter, Paul & Mary’s most moving songs such as “Puff, The Magic Dragon”, “Day Is Done”, ‘The Great Mandala” and “Light One Candle” during his remarkable music career that has now lasted almost 50 years. Three years ago, Peter released the enormously successful, “Puff, The Magic Dragon”, an illustrated children’s book and CD that is being followed by a series of four, 12-song, children’s illustrated books, called “The Peter Yarrow Song Book”. Educators can download the songs from these books, free, at www.operationrespect to enrich classroom activities and add to the repertoire of songs used in the “Don’t Laugh At Me” Program, part of Operation Respect, a non-profit that Peter founded a decade ago that works to assure children a safe and bully-free classroom environment. This past year, Peter teamed up with Charlie Nurnberg, head of the newly formed Imagine Publications to create Peter Yarrow Books, an imprint that just released Tom Paxton’s “The Marvelous Toy” and, this coming spring, Judy Collins’ “Over The Rainbow”. These books, and others presently planned, link to Peter’s commitment to share music in ways that not only delight children, their parents and grandparents, but also inspire children’s personal growth and creativity.
$15 for adults and kids over 1. Babies on laps are free. No physical tickets will be issued, your name will be on the guest list the night of the event.
