Jazz at Center Stage

Center Stage Theater presents

Jazz at Center Stage
Featuring: The Santino Tafarella Quartet

March 28, 2024

Center Stage is excited to bring an electrifying new series of jazz concerts featuring professional musicians. The Santino Tafarella Quartet with vocalist Miriam Dance will be the resident house band for each performance and will then feature a special guest artist. We kick off the series on Thursday, March 28 with special guest Tamir Hendleman.

Driven by our love for music and a desire to create a vibrant jazz community, we envisioned showcasing accomplished musicians from our local scene and beyond. Jazz is America’s unique musical art form and at its core delivers a unifying message. That message champions expressive freedom and individuality while at the same time promoting listening, exchange of ideas, collaboration, and supporting each other’s creativity in order for the music to really “swing.” Our Jazz at Center Stage concert series will continue once a month throughout most of 2024. We hope to continue the series for many years to come!
