Join us for a very special afternoon, meet & greet, and book-signing with children's author, singer, and educator, MISTER G! MISTER G (aka Ben Gundersheimer) 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.

Acclaimed as one of the world’s most widely distributed Jewish artists for children, MISTER G 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 tens of thousands 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 the 170 JCCs in North America in 2021 and 2022. Throughout 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 National Museum of Natural History bookstore.
MISTER G is performing a full concert for kids and adults on Saturday, September 21 at 3 PM at the Chocolate Church Center in Bath! Don't miss it!! Workshop attendees are entitled to 18% off their tickets using the special discount code MISTERG at checkout. Get your tickets today!
