Visited the MLK Memorial today in Washington, DC and later found this quote:

"When I speak of love I am not speaking of some sentimental and weak response. I am speaking of that force which all of the great religions have seen as the supreme unifying principle of life. Love is somehow the key that unlocks the door which leads to ultimate reality." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

What is Musicians of Mercy?
(MOM)
Can you imagine drying the tears of a starving child halfway around the world? building a home for a displaced family? We can!

Musicians of Mercy (MOM) is a collective of over seventy independent musicians and artists based in the Metropolitan D.C. area. Founded and directed by violist Robin Fay Massie, the group was formed in January 2010 following Haiti's devastating earthquake. Through the production of themed benefit concerts, MOM raises funds for victims of natural disasters and other tragedies.

What makes us unique?

All performers volunteer their time and talents in concerts that are free or open to the public with a nominal admission fee. We believe that great music should be accessible to the entire community. MOM showcases all musical genres from rock to jazz to classical. We feature gifted solo performing artists, chamber ensembles, jazz combos, dancers, poets, and a full orchestra.

When can you hear one of our performances?

Stay tuned! We have produced four successful concerts since February 2010 and are currently working on our next one!

Why do we perform?

We aim to restore hope and unity to this suffering world by partnering with local and international charities. Each concert is a "marriage" with a different charity for a different cause. Proceeds from our concerts are sent directly to those charities. We have raised nearly $15,000 ... and counting!


Thanks for your interest!

Roy Crosse, Musician and Visual Artist

www.pegalstonfinearts.com


Abstract artist Roy Crosse has received worldwide acclaim for his boldly-colored paintings and collages. Crosse, who is also an accomplished jazz musician who plays the steel drum and bass, grew up in Port of Spain, Trinidad. He performed with local steel bands and first exhibited his art at galleries and museums in Port of Spain and Toronto, Canada. He came to the United States in 1986 and continued to develop his talents as a musician and visual artist. Although he currently resides in Baltimore, Crosse was initially based in the New York City/New Jersey metropolitan area. There he performed with saxophonist Oliver Lake and bassist Chris White. He has had engagements at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center and performed regularly at the Priory Jazz brunch series in Newark.

As a visual artist, Crosse has been the recipient of numerous awards, grants and honors including a fellowship in the African American Master Artists in Residence Program at Northeastern University in Boston (1986); a New York the State Council for the Arts grant for public installation (1991) and an artist-in-residency at the Newark Museum (1992). His work has been shown at museums and galleries across the country and abroad in Canada, Mexico and Italy. This includes group shows at the Newark Museum, A.I.R. Gallery in New York City and the High Museum in Atlanta. He has also been featured in solo shows at the Montclair Art Museum, the Craftery Gallery in Hartford, Connecticut and Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2002/2003 he was the recipient of the prestigious Joan Mitchell Award for Sculpture and in 2002, he received a grant from the Geraldine Dodge Foundation.

Roy Crosse’s works are in many private and public collections, including those of the Montclair Museum of Art, the Schomburg Library of New York, Rutgers State University, Seton Hall University and the National Museum and Art Gallery of Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies.
