Holly Mead

The Tavern of Fine Arts presents Holly Mead, piano, with guest Katie McCarthy, French horn, in concert on Saturday, November 30, at 8 PM. "This program of solo piano will be a mix of many musical genres. Listeners can expect to hear: jazz standards (and a few not-so-standards), both classic and contemporary tangos from the likes of Julian Plaza and Astor Piazzolla, and some of Holly's latest original compositions that blur the lines between new age, classical, jazz, and folk. Guest artist Katie McCarthy (French horn) will join Holly for a piece commemorating the life and passing of a dear friend and fellow musician, Drew Thompson." The Tavern of Fine Arts is at 313 Belt in the Debaliviere Place neighborhood. For more information: tavern-of-fine-arts.blogspot.com.
