# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Parody of Art
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Parody of Art is TMI in musical-ish form from two NY songwriters Susan Hwang and Ed Pastorini.  You will meet Susan's parents.  You will hear songs about books you've never read.  You will be asked to sing along to a chorus about plastic surgery.  Dancing is optional but encouraged. 

Susan Hwang tells stories and makes collapsible things like songs and times with the help of an accordion, janggu (Korean drum) and piano, but physical objects she can’t play, wear or eat intimidate her.  She produces events for the Bushwick Book Club, an international, literature-inspired performance series she founded in 2009 when her bandmate left the country to get a doctorate.  She plays accordions because they’re lighter than pianos (barely) and drums because it's healthy for a girl to hit things.

"Ed Pastorini is a New York pianist and composer straddling the line between popular song, art song, jazz and improvisation....  I’ve always found his solo piano songs to be extraordinary little works of art... they seem to come from several traditions at once – or none at all."
-Jon Schaefer WNYC New Sounds
