Due to the snow on February 5, we will now celebrate the Music Center at Strathmore's 5th Anniversary during this performance. A spectacular 5th Anniversary cake will be on display in the Lockheed Martin lobby prior to the performance. Following the performance, enjoy a slice along with the sounds of jazz singer and Strathmore's Artist in Residence Lena Seikaly with her band.

For more than 50 years, the legendary Monterey Jazz Festival has presented the greats--now the Festival returns to Strathmore, where lucky jazz lovers can hear “one of the top jazz pianists in the world” (Los Angeles Times), Kenny Barron; “wonderfully listenable, probingly intelligent” (Time Magazine) violinist Regina Carter; Kurt Elling, “the most flamboyantly creative jazz singer to emerge in the last decade” (San Francisco Chronicle); and one of DownBeat’s featured all-time “great guitarists,” Russell Malone.

This show will have two 50-60 minute sets, plus a 20 minute intermission.
