Maryanne Mistretta with singer Carol Erickson
Thanks so much to the Florham Park Library for hosting my company Pear Tree’s (https://peartreeenterprises.wordpress.com/) presentation: “The Life and Music of Ella Fitzgerald” which is part of our Learn & Listen series.
This program is available to libraries, senior centers, assisted living facilities, rotary clubs, Jewish Community Centers, etc.
“Learn and Listen: Ella Fitzgerald” is a one-hour presentation, with Maryanne sharing the biography of the First Lady of Song, followed by a half hour of song by the dynamic Carol Erickson! (https://carolericksonvocals.wordpress.com/).
Known as the First Lady of Jazz, Ella Fitzgerald had both a blessed and tragic life. In this interactive presentation, learn about Ella’s life, loves, and music — as well as her unfortunate health struggles.
Following the biography, Carol Erickson wows the audience with her interpretation of Ella hits including, “Night and Day,” “Blue Skies,” “A Tisket A Tasket,” and so much more!
For rates and availability, please contact Maryanne Christiano-Mistretta at: 908-276-1514 during business hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. or email: maryannechristiano@gmail.com

Only Allison Krauss with 27 Grammys, Beyonce with 20, Aretha Franklin 18, Alicia Keys 15 have won more Grammys by a female singer than Ella Fitzgerald with 13.
I sometimes feel that Germany has a lack of events like your presentations
sounds like something I would like to visit!
Thanks so much! What a great compliment!! I’d love to visit Germany too. If you ever come to NYC area, I’d love to meet/hang out with you.
