Jean Wakely and Marybeth Coyle-Frederick stopped by my corner office at the GBM yesterday to let me know that Aleka Pitsavas is performing Saturday, March 17, 7:00 PM at the NAG Theater, 411 W. 3rd Street. Tix at the door, $15.
Here’s an excerpt from Aleka’s bio page:
A monastic composer / song writer for over a decade, Aleka has spent the majority of the past eleven months creating and completing forty-five original works. A selected twelve of which she is ready to reveal; first to a chosen few and now to the public in her debut CD White Darkness.

This month, Northfielder Aleka Pitsavas has been spending countless hours recording her first studio album. Short fingers and a lack of self-confidence made Pitsavas keep her music to herself for years, but her brother John Pitsavas, before his death, gave her a kick start.
Aleka will be performing several new songs she has recently written that are not included on her CD. Her CD White Darkness will be on sale after the concert. She is a new voice. She composes, sings and plays her own piano music with compassion and depth of soul. Those who enjoyed her CD release at the Sheldon Theater will be pleased to her her in solo at the NAG Theater with new music!
If you’d like to hear from ALEKA and what to expect from her NAG Theater concert March 17, she will be on KYMN Radio with Paula Granquist’s ART ZANY this Friday, 9th, at 9 a.m. She will also visit with Jessica Paxton on Wednesday the 14th at 4:45. She will play a selection or two from her CD to give you an idea of what musical treats you will hear March 17. Tune In!
It’s going to be a great evening! Make your first stop at the NAG Theater to hear ALEKA give her first Northfield concert from 7-8….then on to green beer in Northfield. She is playing a selection of original songs and music, and a few great cover songs you’ll want to humm along to. Door opens at 6:30, show at 7:00 $15.
