The Hopkinton Center for the Arts is pleased to announce that its Sunset Jazz Series will resume on June 30 and run through August 18 at the HCA Amphitheater at 98 Hayden Rowe Street. Each Saturday night (with the exception of August 4,) a different jazz group will play from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., with rain dates on Sunday. Admission is free and all age groups are welcome. More information is available at www.caahop.org. The Sunset Jazz series is made possible in part by a grant from Hopkinton's Local Cultural Council.
The Sunset Jazz Series will kick off on June 30 with the MetroWest Jazz Project. Led by Hopkinton vibraphonist Tom Phelan, this group plays an exciting blend of post-bebop acoustic contemporary jazz. Their repertoire ranges from bebop and hard bop to Brazilian and Latin jazz.
Other featured groups scheduled to perform are:
July 7 -- Kaoruko Pilkington
July 14 -- Jean Mancini Gough and Friends
July 21 -- Shimon Ben-Shir
July 28 -- Erik Caldarone
August 11 -- John Funkhouser
August 18 – InterTrip
“There’s nothing like sitting outside on a beautiful summer night, listening to jazz being played by talented musicians,” said Kelly Grill, executive director of the HCA. “This series was a big success last year, which is why we are delighted to be able to bring it back this year.”
