Extraordinary Renovation for New York City Music School | George to the Rescue

[@BloomingdaleMusic]

Thank you all for tuning into this episode! This renovation meant so much to us and we are so grateful to George, Josh, and the amazing team of vendors who transformed our school.

[@alwaysfallingshort]

What a deserving group. Those kids didn't need any prompting to talk about how special that place is to them already.

[@debbie6712]

I'm a New Yorker at heart born and raised. So it's wonderful to see people coming together and just enjoying music. Music is what breaks the barriers that keep us separated. Congratulations Bloomingdale.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Did you have any input into the renovations? I am really disappointed in their choices, particularly for their acoustics. I have performed in that hall, and it was good before, now it sounds dead. And the outdoors needs a roofing. But I'm thrilled for the school to gain this exposure. I don't think I knew the house had belonged to Fanny Brice!

[@peterwy874]

Music rescues a lot of people in this world! You are doing a great job. Respect!

[@bidhanbhattarai8863]

Thank You for all you do. You deserved it. Great music must always rise to the top

[@brizy2249]

I have been a student at BSM for 11 years, and this has been and will forever be my home. I have grown up in this school and seeing this outstanding change in the David Greer concert hall and backyard makes me so happy! BSM REPRESENT!

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! For sure one of the best rescues!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳💗👍😎🎤🎧🎼🎹🥁🎷🎺🎸🪕🎻

[@peterwy874]

One of the best rescues so far. I love it when you are helping community projects and music clearly is a rescue for many many people.

[@toeysfarmlife673]

I love ❤️ your shows. I wish you were in Florida because I have a farm that is in need of a rescue. I can’t take in any rescues till I can get my farm in shape 🐴

[@amandaweber7328]

Thank you, George👍🏼🤙🏼

[@Apianorain]

So happy for Bloomingdale! Spent so many years teaching there; they deserve every bit of this!

[@2080_King]

This is what the world needs right now!! Positive energy from George, designer and the crews!!! Well done again and please continue this show, God blessed all of you 🕊️♥️

[@fatmamohamed4101]

Ya even for donations

[@b_uppy]

They'd better bring back the cover for the barbecue. That was protecting it from the weather. The bars over the windows are actually beautiful on the front of the building. Bet those were made custom. The redo overall is very nice.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

They also need a roofing to have any outdoor events to protect the neighbors from the noise. Outdoor concerts, indeed.

[@b_uppy]

@@nonenoneonenonenone Exactly. The times they could perform would be quite limited and determined largely by weather.

[@luisv7117]

Love it, helping to reshape the future and giving something super positive to those kids God bless you all and thank you, everyone, involved in this project from the piano donation to the guy that cut a piece of granite. well done

[@biddiemutter3481]

What a brilliant place. It reminds me of the Royal College of Music in London UK

[@myfavouritemovie5722]

I'm waiting for this episode

[@devanshipandya6068]

Ah! My God! I need to stop bawling everytime I see the reaction of the kids ❤️ arranging a piano for the students is absolutely amazing!

[@bredaswitzer1948]

George is amazing 😊he works soo hard to make a difference to people's lives🤗

[@dedwin8930]

Best episode i have seen yet!! Thanks,George

[@sheilam4964]

George to the Rescue is always a tear-jerker but the Steinway in this one is the best gift of them all.

[@kandiwolfe1125]

[@alexisshepard2882]

fav show everrrrrr

[@AllenTax]

Cool. Nice they added some art. The outside wall. I guess inside art would have maybe been a distraction for the players. Just bothers me a bit,being an artist. The outside art will fade away faster than if inside. Be good if it got it's yearly shield cover painting to it. To protect it.

[@poohsplaylist4913]

As an artist, perhaps you could contact them and see if they need some fresh ideas for their classrooms?

[@lowesonia8551]

Students could Do that.

[@cameljaque]

Music is an art and science. Those two seemingly different viewpoints are an example of what music does in our lives everyday. Thank you #Georgetotherescue for working so hard to make a difference and bring the art and science of design to such a deserving cause.

That is so ironic I watched big before I watched this so cool

BEAUTIFUL, BRAVO ALL OF YOU FOR MAKING A BETTER LIFE

[@katherinestacey3421]

This is great! I know I'm being pedantic, but some of the notes on the mural (12:28) are the wrong way around (this may have been an artistic choice, but it looks weird). Otherwise, great job!

[@musicslyf9087]

Be the first one to comment and I loved it . I would love to send a letter because I would love that you rescued someone who needed it the most but it's impossible because these family are from Phil and it's so far away 😔

I wonder if they thought about moving that offset back over by the stairs.

[@dianestephenson8528]

One of the best shows yet! Well done, George.

[@Jessica-kk1cz]

Why depressing blue and gray? Why not warm colors? Technically well done, design is sad.

[@lauraduncan8666]

Wonderful. I'm sure there are many community organizations across America that could have benefited from sharing the $50M that was given to the Kennedy Center. Imagine what that kind of money could have done to support the arts and community youth across this country.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

They all need $50 million.

[@randicommand2453]

Best episode!

[@myfavouritemovie5722]

Is there no any problem of Corona virus in this time at America????I'm little bit curious about this

[@SageTheRage]

+yangchen dolker This is obviously an older episode that was just recently uploaded. The city this renovation took place in, New York City, (NYC) is America's epicenter for Covid19. Meaning the hardest hit. They have had, and continue to have *the highest rate* of confirmed cases (104,000 +/-) and deaths (7,000 +/-) of all the states in the USA with recovered cases of approximately 17,000. Schools throughout the state closed in mid to late March because of the high rate of the disease and will mot reopen for the rest if the school year. Pretty much the same policy all over America. Businesses there, as in all the states are suffering badly due to not only social distancing policies but also financial difficulties because people do not have money to spend as there is no income if there are no jobs. 60% of the total US workforce is currently out of work. Hospitals in NYC (the area this episode took place) are overloaded to point where makeshift hospital tents are set up in the city's largest park. Hockey arenas and refrigerated trucks serve as temporary morgues for the bodies because standard mortuaries in NYC are overloaded. Funerals are streamed because of social distancing policies. It is bad all over America but especially bad in NYC where George To The Rescue did this renovation. I believe the show chose this particular time to air this episode because of the sadness of how hard NYC is suffering from Coronavirus (Covid 19) with today being Easter. Easter is a religious holiday in the USA celebrating the triumphant Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb on the 3rd day (Sunday) after his Crucifixion on the Cross on Good Friday. Even for those who do not hold such religious beliefs, it is a day of much joyful celebrations of traditional fun of decorated baskets of candies and goodies (secretly left by the Easter Bunny), family and friends get together for meals, outdoor games, music, etc. Obviously that cannot happen in a physical sense at this time so featuring this episide of GTTR was all the more uplifting today.

[@lovingmayberry307]

yangchen dolker This was filmed last year, just uploaded again today. Yes, America is suffering like everyone else from Covid19.

[@eliasher3901]

Bloomingdale School, like other community schools, has been closed since March 14th--we've moved as much as possible online. The "reveal" scenes were filmed in early November, 2019.

This is old tape right if not, then Gorge watch out for the virus.

[@ivanolsen7966]

poor choice of curtain track and curtain heading ... me 37 yrs in the trade

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

They did a terrible job on the concert hall, completely ruined the acoustics, no charm or esthetic taste. They made it dead, okay for plays and amplification, terrible for classical music. Tacky flooring, won't last. Bad decisions, cheap. Instead of curtains, they should have used wooden dividers, and the ceiling should be in the same style as the original walls.

[@lovingmayberry307]

none Take your negativity elsewhere.

[@eliasher3901]

When you performed in the new concert hall, were the curtains open or closed?
