About the Event

World-renowned guitarist and singer John Pizzarelli has charmed our audiences on multiple occasions and we couldn’t imagine an anniversary celebration without him.

John is known as a prime contemporary interpreter of the Great American Songbook and beyond, with a repertoire that includes Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and The Beatles.

In addition to John’s mastery of the guitar, his personality is enchanting. As The Jazz Times puts it, “Spend five minutes with Pizzarelli and you’ll fully appreciate his inimitable warmth, humor and munificence of spirit.” Join us for an evening of inspired music and gracious spontaneity.

The genial genius of the guitar.”

-The Toronto Star
