Maritri Moving Boldly On A Rich Musical Journey Good Coffeehouse Music Parlor BROOKLYN Society for Ethical Culture 53 Prospect Park West BROOKLYN, NY www.bsec.org 718.768.2972 Friday, October 10, 2008 Admission $15.00 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm (Doors open at 7:30 pm) There aren't many artists who can move from one form to another and do it well. Maritri has a gift for music, learning instruments with an ease that is impossible to describe and equally impossible to forget. Maritri taught herself to play guitar last year and a second later was performing on stage. She picked up the cello in the summer of 2005 and in six months' time, made her debut as a cellist at the BROOKLYN Academy of Music. Few singers talk about stories of love, life, and loss the way Maritri can. Her poignant, bittersweet lyrics, tells "grown folks stories" in a poignant way that will break you down to the core. Maritri was destined to share her gift of music with the world. Maritri studied jazz with Grady Tate and Geri Allen and classical with Raymond Jackson and Russell Baldwin. She received a B.S. degree in Biology from Fisk University in Nashville where she also was a world renowned Jubilee Singer. Maritri also holds a Bachelors in Composition and a Masters in Jazz Studies from Howard University, Washington, D.C. After years of clamoring from hungry fans who have heard her varied catalog in live performance but rarely on wax, she has responded with her latest release ...

If you own a tract of land in a windy area and want to build a wind farm you might contact BROOKLYN-based OwnEnergy to partner up. You get their expertise in building wind farms and funding for them and they get access to your land. Together you share in the upside from the energy. OwnEnergy has raised Series A from EnerTech Capital Partners, Contour Venture Partners and the New York City Investment Fund, according to reports. But this funding is meant to just cover expenses. OwnEnergy wants to raise $100M to develop its first project, a 51-megawatt wind farm in north Texas — and to have it up and running by the end of 2009. That's just the start. They want to develop between 10 and 80 other wind farms. These aspirations have us sucking air between our teeth. We have a hard time imaging that they will be able to raise such capital at a time when Ford Motor's stock has fallen to $2. OwnEnergy is led by Jacob Susman who was a founding member of Goldman Sachs' Alternative Energy Investing group. View - site... ...
