March 2016 Events:

First Friday Concert

Friday, March 4, 2016  5-6pm FREE

Enjoy the smooth sound of Rose Mallett.
Rose has captured the essence of vocal
delivery that some say reminds them of the range and texture of Sarah Vaughan;
the joy and playfulness of Ella Fitzgerald; the foreboding pain of Billie Holiday; and the regal articulation of Lena Horne.  Her voice is simply beautiful.
