Our WCM faculty Jazz Quartet will perform the music of Dave Brubeck to Miles Davis, while five artists will paint either the musicians as they perform, or abstractly paint the music itself - or a variation of the two. The five pieces of art produced that evening will be silent auctioned for the benefit of the Children's Inn at NIH.

 

We encourage friends of the Washington Conservatory to enjoy great music, art, and food while supporting this worthy cause! (And hear some of our students play during the reception, too!)
