At our next concert (January 19, 2025):

Sonny & Perley Quartet

The exciting duo of Sonny and Perley achieves a rare musical symbiosis. This husband and wife team has spent the last 30 years developing and perfecting their unique blend of Jazz, Great American Songbook, Bossa Nova, and International Cabaret into what has become their musical signature. The Magazine All About Jazz says “They brightly meld lyricism, passion, and rhythm in a way that is both rich and exotic”. They have appeared in concerts, festivals, cabaret shows and private events from New York to Florida and in Europe. In 2013 Sonny and Perley had the distinct honor of presenting a prelude concert for legendary Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim.

Their four CD releases have generated international airplay. It is in their live performances, however, that they captivate audiences with their warmth, spontaneity, musical honesty and broad repertoire.

 

At our concert on March 9, 2025:

The program will also include several songs in Portuguese and English from the repertoire of her band Bossamba: "Brazilian music to lift your spirit and soothe your soul." Maggie and her bandmates Wayne Hawkins, Lou Pappas, and Mark Foster invite you to join them for a uniquely entertaining afternoon of international jazz.
