You like the jazz! Lyric’s “Jazz in North Park” Series, presented in conjunction with Holly Hofmann, has been so warmly received at the Birch North Park Theatre that concerts have been added through November 2010.
The second half of the series begins tonight at 7pm, when pianist Bill Cunliffe brings his Imaginación septet to the Birch with San Diego’s own Coral MacFarland Thuet on vocals.
Grammy-winning pianist Bill Cunliffe has developed into one of the premiere players on the West Coast jazz scene. Awarded a 2010 Grammy for his charts on the Resonance Records’ “Tribute to Oscar Peterson” CD from last year, Cunliffe is known for his adventurous piano playing and his capacity to work in a wide array of musical styles. Joining Cunliffe and his Imaginación septet will be jazz and Latin singer Coral MacFarland Thuet, who sings in Spanish, English, and Portuguese with a repertoire of music from Latin America. This will be a wonderful evening of Afro-Cuban jazz.
“The venue and staff at the Theatre make it a wonderful place to present jazz: great vibe, good acoustics and musician-friendly,” said Music Director Hofmann.
Tickets are $22 for seniors, KSDS 88.3 FM members, and Lyric Opera San Diego members, and $27 for general admission. Student discount tickets for $15 are available on the day of the show. Tickets may be purchased at the Birch Box Office, (619) 239-8836, and online: http://www.birchnorthparktheatre.net.
Jazz in North Park is presented by Lyric at the Birch in collaboration with Music Director Holly Hofmann, in association with KSDS 88.3 FM) radio.
