Join Us for an Evening of Dinner and Jazz on Friday, February 27
We're having a special dinner and concert on Friday, February 27. This event is a fundraiser for our residential scholarship program and the first of a series of programs where we'll share the talents and accomplishments of members of our community.
Friday, February 27
7:00 pm Dinner
8:00 - 9:30 pm Jazz Piano by Ayaz Quadir
Ayaz is a gifted pianist, composer and arranger who has studied at the prestigious McGill University in Montreal. Ayaz, who was born in Bangladesh and raised in Philadelphia, has a wide range of musical influences from classical Indian and western music to contemporary jazz. He won the Calvacade Soloist Award at the American Regional Jazz Competition twice in a row. Ayaz will be playing a program that includes some original compositions as well as standards. You can listen to some samples of his music on his MySpace page.
Ayaz is currently studying at The Movement Center on a residential scholarship. This concert is one of the many ways he is giving back to our community.
We have a fabulous menu for the dinner before the concert:
