October 3, 2026 5:00-8:00PM Bethlehem and Sad Patrick at Benefit for Hansberry Garden
Note: In case of rain, Rooted in Germantown will be at the Waldorf School of Philadelphia, 6000 Wayne Ave.
General admission $45
Duo Bethlehem and Sad Patrick blend blues, jazz, folk and soul into songs of love and other struggles. Combining Bethlehem’s soaring vocals and driving percussion with Sad Patrick’s sparse guitar, they deliver powerful songs about being in and out of love, keeping your head up in the city, struggling to make your way, and seeking peace on the margins. Sad Patrick’s hybrid of folk, blues and jazz playing supports Bethlehem’s “vocussion” – her powerful singing, remarkable improvisations and nuanced melodies riding atop her tarima stomps and body percussion.

If you like Indian flute and vocal music, extraordinary piano, cello and violin, along with beautiful harp, rav drum and fingerstyle guitar…all manifesting in a deep meditative yet fun loving musical flow, then please join us in celebrating the CD release of “ Out of Thin Aires”
Suzzette Ortiz: piano, harp and rav drums
Amira Dvorah: bansuri bamboo flutes and guitars
Daniel De Jesus : Cello and violin
Deepak Kumar Pareek : Voice and harmonium
Amira and Suzzette first got together as the musical accompaniment for a gallery event focused on the mystical poetry of Jalaluddin Rumi.
They met five minutes before the start of the scheduled concert and what happened next was an hour of completely improvised harp, bamboo flute , guitar and rav drums… manifesting out of thin air, riding on the inspired sacred words.
They decided to go into the studio, keeping that improvisational creative energy close to heart, to record the album, “Out of Thin Aires”.
Deepak Kumar Pareek was able to add his velvety voice just a day before leaving on a trip to India.
Daniel De Jesus was able to brilliantly add cello and violin from his home studio.
Two years later, the album is here, and even more exciting is that all four widely busy and touring musicians are able to be together in one room for this one evening! Don’t miss it!
Accessibility Note: Studio 34 iis located on the second floor up a flight of stairs
