A blend of well known jazz artists and regional talent will perform in the expanding Hudson Valley Jazz Festival, August 18-21, in its 13th season. This year the series includes shows in Ulster County.
This August, Flushing Town Hall continues to welcome in-person audiences back for select events while continuing to live-stream all programs, too. Next up, Flushing Town Hall will present The Gino Sitson Trio s innovative and energetic performance of African music , an outdoor exhibition of work by Queens-based artists, Taiwanese piano talents Ching-Yun Hu, Natasha Wu, and Yao-Wen Chang, and the final, virtual Louis Armstrong Legacy Jazz Jam. As we are carefully reopening our facilities for select events, we are delighted to welcome familiar and new faces to Flushing Town Hall, says Executive and Artistic Director Ellen Kodadek. Across the city, venues are reopening, and we are thrilled that we can bring local artists to our patrons while taking all necessary safety measures for our guests and performers to feel safe.
Summer brings high-energy, live music back to Flushing Town Hall s stage with award-winning musicians performing for in-person audiences, as well as an outdoor exhibition, and the continuation of beloved, online programs like Flushing Town Hall s monthly Louis Armstrong Legacy Virtual Jazz Jams.
This summer, it is time to celebrate resilience as Flushing Town Hall continues its reopening since the pandemic first closed the doors of the cultural nonprofit in March 2020.
This summer s highlights include two outstanding New York-based musicians and vocalists. Enjoy the tremendous power and good vibrations of the Emilie Surtees Band on July 30th and the Gino Sitson Trio on August 20th, performing live on stage for both an in-person and virtual audience.
