Can piano players and guitarists really get along? Yes! See for yourself by joining Paul Cantrell, Todd Harper and Carei Thomas for the 9th year of the “Keys Please” concert series. Our special guest this year is superhero Bob Ockenden: disguised as a mild-mannered master clockworker by day, at night he transforms into a crime-fighting hero of the jazz guitar.

The intrepid group takes on musics of diverse genres for an evening of sonic surprise, wonder and beauty. You will hear poemmetry, “weather permitting,” compositions old and new, and of course the pleasure of musical friendship shared.

This evening’s offerings will include works by Frédéric Chopin, Bill Evans and Thelonius Monk, along with our own original compositions. A concert like no other!
