February 14, at Genesee Community College’s Stuart Steiner Theatre will be a night to remember for all the right reasons, according to college representatives.
As singer, songwriter and guitarist, Natalia Zukerman shares her “rootsy warmth” through a blend of folk, jazz, blues, rock, bluegrass, country and classical music, she will be performing to a special audience. Genesee Community College has sent a special invitation to more than 125 alumni, all who met their life partners at GCC. Prior to Natalia’s performance at 7 p.m., these special guests will celebrate their unique and distinctive unions from their alma mater at the “Met My Mate at GCC” Reception at 6:30 p.m. in the Lobby Art Gallery outside the Stuart Steiner Theatre.
Zukerman’s concert isn’t just for GCC ‘love birds,’ however. Zukerman’s “Dusty Valentine” concert will be a special night for all, as she plays her unique slide guitar with her seductive vocals, unapologetic lyrics and sharp wit.
Zukerman is also a visual artist who allows her artistic and creative instincts to move, shape and influence one another. She is a mural painter and designer, and while living in San Francisco she had her own mural company, Off the Wall. Now a resident of Brooklyn, Zukerman has numerous murals in restaurants and public spaces in and around Brooklyn, as well as across the U.S. and in Cuba.
“It’s the community art process that still excites and inspires me most – its ability to tell a story, to ignite activism and to bring together groups of people to create long-lasting, meaningful and beautiful works of art,” she states on her website, which is http://nataliazukerman.com/.
Ticket prices are adults $12; GCC alumni, seniors, staff $10; and GCC students with valid ID are $6.
