Marisa Balistreri Trio – March 4

Jazz at Five is working with North Street Cabaret to host our first fundraiser and friendraiser event of the year. The Marisa Balistreri Trio will be performing at North Street Cabaret on March 4th from 5:30 – 7:30pm. Jazz at Five would like to continue our tradition of keeping our events free so we have chosen a “pay what you like” donation ticket  for the event – please consider supporting our organization with a $20 donation. Tickets can be purchase on our EventBrite Here

Tickets will help support the local jazz community and Jazz at Five’s future events like our Summer Performance Series in August.
