3rd Tuesday Lunchtime Concert Series: Music & Poetry

3rd Tuesday Lunchtime Concert Series: Music & Poetry In-Person

Join us for an afternoon of words and music, a powerful juxtaposition of jazz music and poetry. This is a great opportunity to witness the energy of improvisational collaboration between artists of different mediums! Maybe you'll even find some inspiration to create words and sounds of your own.
