Meals, Music Scheduled

Throughout November

SOUTHBURY — The next Love & Knishes Lunch takes place at noon on Tuesday, November 16 at the Jewish Federation, 444 Main Street North. Entertainment for the day will feature an encore performance of “Eclectic Music From Around the World” featuring Lori Sunshine and Liz Rogers.

Both women have lived in Scotland over the years, and they sing and play harp, piano, guitar, mbira (thumb piano), and African drums. Their repertoire includes songs from Scotland, Ireland, Africa, and Israel, as well as jazz, golden oldies, Broadway and Jewish tunes.

On November 23, pianist King Bosworth and mezzo soprano Margaret Capen present “The Many Moods of Love,” and the November 30 program features “Sounds of the Greats” with Bob Lupi on keyboard and vocals and Dr J (Julio D’Aquila) on sax.

Lunches are prepared by Jordan Caterers of Cheshire. Reservations should be made by the Friday before each lunch. All programs are open to the public, and there is a suggested lunch donation of $7.50 for adults age 60 and better.
