Mikel Murphy, Neighbor

As the director of Fermata Eclectic, a Kensington-based performing arts organization, I make it my personal goal to not only provide a stage for otherwise unheard exceptional talent, but to bring it into neighborhoods and communities where everyone can contribute and benefit by cultivating and celebrating music just waiting to be shared and enjoyed.

One of the most exiciting projects Fermata has launched is the Swing Orchestra Revival program featuring the legendary Frankie Condon Big Band Swing Orchestra. Valentine's Weekend 2011 proved to be a successful springboard event with many people from the area asking for more dances. Check out the video on Facebook. Be sure to "Like" us!
