SUMMARY:Mister G
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \nBen Gundersheimer (known onstage as MISTER G)  is a Latin GRAMMY Award-winning artist\, author and educator. Hailed as “a bilingual rock star” by The Washington Post\, he was originally dubbed MISTER G by his young students while pursuing a Master of Education degree. His dynamic\, interactive bilingual performances aim to dissolve borders and foster cross-cultural connections. \nA graduate of Amherst College and the recipient of the first songwriting scholarship awarded by Berklee College of Music\, Ben created a curriculum that incorporates songwriting as a learning tool for his Masters thesis. Inspired by his 4th- grade students\, he began writing the songs that would comprise his debut family album while working as a classroom teacher. \nMore than a decade later\, MISTER G has released 12 albums of original\, multicultural music and received numerous accolades including a Latin GRAMMY Award and five Parents’ Choice Gold Awards. He tours internationally headlining performing arts centers\, festivals\, and theaters\, and his concerts weave together a wide variety of musical styles and languages. \nSelected venues include: the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (Washington\, DC)\, JazzFest (New Orleans)\, Austin City Limits\, Lollapalooza (Chicago)\, Hard Rock Café (Philadelphia)\, the Getty Center (Los Angeles)\, Central Park SummerStage (New York City)\, JW3 (London)\, Parque Chapultepec (Mexico City). \nThroughout Ben’s career the crafts of music and storytelling have intertwined seamlessly propelling him as performer and author. Ben has now published four picture books with Penguin Random House based on his original\, bilingual songs. His first book\, Señorita Mariposa\, is a bilingual telling of the monarch butterfly migration from Canada to Mexico. Now in its 13th printing\, it has been used widely in classrooms\, StoryWalks and featured at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History bookstore. \nMany of Ben’s original songs and stories are inspired by his love of the natural world. A committed environmentalist\, he’s performed at the National Climate Rally and headlined multiple concerts for the activist group Moms Clean Air Force on Capitol Hill. As part of his long-standing partnership with the United States Forest Service\, they have commissioned him to write songs\, produce a series of virtual Earth Day events and create curricula to be used nationwide.   \nOne of the most widely distributed Jewish artists\, Ben performs internationally for JCCs\, festivals and cultural institutions. PJ Library commissioned him to create two albums of original music\, The Mitzvah Bus (Parents’ Choice Gold winner) and Seeds of Shalom. The albums were sent to 10s of 1000s of families throughout the world\, as was his picture book\, Lilah Tov Good Night  (Penguin Random House\, 2020). His virtual Hanukkah concert was broadcast to all 170 JCCs in North America in 2021 and 2022.  \nWhether writing in English\, Spanish\, Hebrew or Yiddish\, Ben uses songs and stories as a unifying tool to build bridges between cultures and people. \n \n\nReservations\nTable and blanket reservations are non-refundable\, but can be transferred to another available date in the 2024 season. \nPlease Note: General Admission Donations do not include reserved seating. This is a way to make your gate donation in advance. \nTable reservations seat four.  \nBlanket reservations are placed in the blankets-only area of lawn and do not allow for chair placement. \nCelebrate our 50th Anniversary Season with us all summer long!
