Come for Dinner and get “Jazz”ed when you attend “Dinner & Jazz at the Landing” on Sunday, June 10 at Catherine’s Landing Pavilion (1700 Shady Grove Rd) from 6-8pm. This outdoor event is co-hosted by the Hot Springs Jazz Society (HSJS) and Catherine’s Landing.
Proceeds will support scholarships for Arkansas high school students to attend the University of Arkansas at Monticello Summer Jazz Camp and to provide a free day long outdoor concert, “Jazz in the Streets,” open to the public during JazzFest held over Labor Day weekend.
A proper spaghetti dinner with garlic bread, salad and desserts will be served with your choice of drinks including wine donated by Post Winery, beer donated by Arkansas Beverage Distributors and sodas donated by Coca Cola Bottling Company. The $15 dinner is discounted to $10 for Jazz Society Members and $5 for children 12 and under.
While you enjoy dinner, keyboardist Ron Hall and violinist Oksana Pavilionis will perform, with Slavek Bolubah on drums, and Byron Yancey on bass. Ron Hall, who wears many musical hats, has a background that includes choral directing and arranging, vocal and piano performance in several genres, and earlier stints with various ensembles throughout the United States and Canada.
Oksana Pavilionis is a premier concert violinist who can switch from a heart-rending song by Rachmaninoff to a lilting waltz by Strauss to a fiddle tune that would make you believe she was born in the Ozark Mountains, not her home country of Russia. Now Oksana has added Jazz to her growing repertoire of musical genres.
Catherine’s Landing Pavilion is outdoor and covered with big breezy ceiling fans, perfect for June. Reservations are required and can be purchased by going online at HSJazzSociety.org or calling 501-627-2425. Space is limited and this is going to be a great time so don’t delay, make your reservations now.
The Hot Springs Jazz Society is a non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to perpetuating, promoting and preserving Jazz Music, an original American art form. The Jazz Society is funded in part by the Arkansas Arts Council, Hot Springs Advertising and Promotion Commission, Morris Foundation and Elisabeth Wagner Foundation along with numerous other corporate and private sponsors.
