Mads Tolling & Edward Simon: Music from Denmark, Venezuela, & Beyond

For this concert, Grammy-winning Danish violinist Mads Tolling and world-class Venezuelan jazz pianist Edward Simon embark on a musical odyssey, finding the connections between the rich tapestries of jazz and the folkloric melodies of Latin America and Scandinavia. Given the caliber of these two musicians, I wouldn't be surprised if this show sells out. EVENT COST: $37.50 in advance online (including small service fee), or $40 cash at the door SEATING: Seating is general admission on folding chairs. Buy your own tickets.
