What is Playback"
What is Playback? According to Shari Paltrowitz, founder and organizer of the group, "it's all about kids giving back to our community through music."
Paltrowitz, a JFK High School senior, bassoonist, and pianist, contacted some of the best music students on Long Island. They came with instruments, voices and top notch skills to rehearse at Paltrowitz's home in Bellmore. The lack of power and heat from Hurricane Sandy never stopped them! The kids arrange solos, duets, and ensembles without help from teachers, schools, or professionals - all designed for performances at Assisted Living and other community centers. The kids share the passion of talented and giving young people.
"They're like little professionals," one Bristal Assistant Living Center resident observed.
"Bravo," another cried as residents tapped their feet, smiled, and hummed to the music that filled their hearts.
Playback performers come from local high schools and colleges, all determined to share their music.
Their next performances are at:
Atria Senior Living Center, Plainview - Sunday, December 2nd, 3-4 PM
Bristal Assisted Living at East Meadow, Saturday, December 15th, 7:15-8:15PM
Guests are welcome to see the performance.

Natalie. I am so sorry to read this. I too have a little 5 yr. old dog who I love desperately...…Read More and I feel your pain. There is another website for an organization that does an amazing job finding lost pets. It's LOSTMYDOGGIE.COM There is a small fee, but they get signs up all over the area and have a phone system set up where everyone in the area of where she was lost gets a PHONE CALL ALERT message to watch for Molly. They leave a phone number and their website address so if anyone has seen her or has her they know where to call. Great system! Check it out! I've never used them, but I HAVE received calls myself recently on 2 separate lost dogs and I've seen the many photos they hung up in my area in Levittown for dogs lost within a few miles of this area. In other words, they DO what they say they will do to help find Molly. Just want you to know what is out there to help you bring Molly home. My grandkids go to school around Grand and Camp Ave. We'll be watching for her! God Bless and good luck! I'm sure she will be returned to you real soon!!
