Member Match for Spring Campaign
Sometimes leaving a dollar in a tip jar encourages others to tip. Our Member Match funding is sort of like that. We ask our new and re-joining members to give now, ahead of the Spring Membership Campaign (3/20-27), to encourage others to do the same. We use this money to match other new and re-joining pledges. Thank you in advance.

Roberto Fonseca: A Life in the Spirit
Recognition for the considerable talent of Cuban pianist, Roberto Fonseca has spread far and wide, and if there was another dimension to enter, it would be the one that qualifies an artist to greatness.

S. Monk and his sextet bravely battled the elements to make it into Kirtland, Ohio, and entertain a room admirably filled for such a blustery night...
