The Brooklyn Heights-based Music at First Series announces its first concert of 2011, featuring sets from pianist David Friend and composer/vocalist Corey Dargel. The “astonishingly compelling” (The Washington Post) Friend will perform a set of pieces by Kate Moore, JacobTV, Daniel Wohl, Christopher Marianetti, and Angélica Negrón. Dargel will be joined by James Moore (guitars) and Wil Smith (synths) to perform his art/pop-song cycle Hold Yourself Together, recently hailed by The New York Times as “strongly fashioned and lyrically direct…one of Mr. Dargel’s most instantly relatable creations.”
