Tompkins Corners Cultural Center welcomes Peter Yarrow of the legendary trio, Peter Paul & Mary, for a Benefit to support ongoing efforts to preserve our 130-year-old historic building, our live events and our commitment to the Putnam Valley and Putnam County community.
Peter Paul & Mary shook up the 1960’s music scene with socially-conscious folk hits, earning five Grammys and numerous Gold and Platinum albums. In 1999, Peter launched an educational non-profit called Operation Respect: “Don’t Laugh At Me” based on his passionate belief that music can nurture children’s social and emotional growth which is as important as their intellectual and academic skills.
