This month, HAI’s website will feature several exciting additions. Executive Director Michael Jon Spencer’s performance (1979) of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto #3 can now be accessed directly at: http://www.hospitalaudiences.org/hai/people/mjs/Sound.

Eight minutes of highlights and the full 30 minute version of the recently unearthed 1975 HAI film “People Who Care,” is also now available on HAI’s website. This film surveys the full gamut of services HAI offered in 1975 -- which is still offered to New York's most vulnerable residents today. The film features singer Clara Walker performing at Bird S. Coler Hospital, youth attending a performance of Miguel Pinero's "Short Eyes," singer Dee Dee Bridgewater and Grady Tate at Greenhaven State Prison and John and Richard Contigulia, pianists, performing Liszt’s arrangement of the 4th movement of Beethoven’s 9th Symphony. The film also includes the laudatory and seemingly timely endorsement of former Manhattan Borough President, Percy Sutton and much more.
