Pre-Concert Conversation: The Sound of Jazz with Ken Peplowski and Loren Schoenberg

For close to 50 years, clarinetist Ken Peplowski has traveled the world, bringing his virtuosic and spontaneous music to virtually every continent. Please join us as he shares his vision behind The Sound of Jazz: Music for our Time,  a survey of jazz’s international influences, making its premiere on July 19th at the David Rockefeller Creative Arts Center at the Pocantico Center in Tarrytown, NY.

Tickets for July 19th concert can be purchased HERE.

Known not only for his exceptional music but also for his legendary humor, this will be a wonderful chance to spend time with a true jazz master, as he joins our Senior Scholar Loren Schoenberg for a night of conversation.

This program is made possible with support from Rockefeller Bothers Fund’s Culpeper Arts & Culture Program
