Get Ready To Celebrate!

This is going to be an exciting show!

On Tuesday, October 27th at 8 pm, Kenia will be putting on a once-in-a lifetime show - a tribute to the music of Dorival Caymmi!

Joining Kenia on this special night will be Airto Moreira (Winner of the 2009 Jazz/Fusion Percussion Award from Drum! Magazine), Fernando Merlino on piano, Leo Traversa on bass and Eric Susoeff on guitar.

The concert is at the Cabaret Theatre, 655 Penn Avenue.

VIP tickets are available for a meet-the-artists pre-show reception. These tickets will also give you preferred seating, and a digital copy of Kenia's forthcoming CD!

Stars At Riverview Jazz Series

A beautiful night of beautiful music - though somewhat bittersweet as it was the last performance with Lucas Ashby before he goes off to college! We wish him all the best!

Monroeville Jazz Festival

In the words of Kenia: We endured the rain but then.... the rainbow appeared and poured its colors on all of us. And the music soured, the energy intensified and the love was present, alive, like always... Thank you all who shared these moments with us!
