Origin

Been there, done that?
Joseph Liberti says: “If you enjoyed the first concert, come back for new music and new sounds.
While the melodies and themes of the music are the same, each piece has been re-arranged to add the rich voice of cello to the harmonies and new texture to the rhythms. We will also play new O’Keeffe-inspired originals, and of course with jazz improvisation no two performances are ever the same. The sextet will play two short sets with an intermission. Complimentary viewing of the exhibit is included.”
