Mardi Gras Party!
Mardi gras Performance
On March 1st PCB members and guest were treated to a smooth jazz performance by the Charles Thomas Jazz Trio. The concert was preceded by a Mardi Gras buffet dinner with jambalaya, gumbo, red beans and rice, cornbread, non-alcoholic hurricanes, and a king cake. Following dinner, we assembled for our very own Mardi Gras parade from the Fellowship Hall to the Sanctuary.
With a repertoire that ranges from Bernstein to Stevie Wonder, and from Gershwin to gospel, vocalist Charles Thomas spices up servings of jazz standards with eclectic pop, classic folk, and contemporary world music flavors. His performances in venues from Chicago’s Jazz Showcase and New York’s Laurie Beechman Theatre to Paris’s Franc Pinot have featured collaborations with artists as diverse as jazz pianists Geri Allen and Amin Claudine Myers, internationally renowned dance company Urban Bush Women, and vocal ensembles Opera Ebony and New York Harlem Theater.
Music on the Hill features three spectacular programs this season. All concerts at the Presbyterian Church of Barrington are on Saturday evenings at 7:30 PM. Free admission.
