"Ms Tokuno made a brilliant impression with Enescu's Suite #2 in D Major, Op.10, which is wonderfully well written for the instrument. Her exciting interpretation had drive, virtuosity, textural and coloristic diversity. Ms Tokuno's limpid singing tone, amazing technical clarity, rhythmic drive and disarming expressivity stole the show"
Harris Goldsmith, Manhattan School of Music

Christian Tamburr Quintet
featuring special guest on Trumpet
Dominick Farinacci

Adults: $25 Students (under 18): $20

East Coast Winery of downtown Melbourne will be offering tastings at 3:30 pm

“Tamburr and his Group are well within the jazz tradition. He sets the pace of collective improvisation with never-ending energy, with the mallets going from a slow feathery touch to a blurring speed. His Phrasing when soloing is thoughtful and slowly simmers as he resolves his musical ideas."
Jack McCray, The Post and Courier, Charleston, SC

"One of the most inventive and creative vibraphonists I have heard in years." Eric Cohen, WAER Jazz 88 "The groove of the piano-drums-bass is the perfect road for the vibes to follow the best emo- tions of our listening heart."
Scazzola Giovanni Pietro, Radio Gold Popular Network, Italy

Thomas Pandolfi
“Into the Night with Gershwin”

Adults: $25 Students (under 18): $20

“His ability to charm audiences was seen and heard once again as he captured the essence of each musical composi- tion he performed."
The Washington Post

"Virtuosity, beautiful touch, sensitivity and broad scope...logical phrasing and expressive percussiveness...a soloist whom we would like to hear again."
Bucharest Cultural Observer

"Pandolfi's technique is brilliant. Every note was cleanly and clearly stated, and themes rolled out of supporting structures, as clear as could be...it was jazzy, it was classical, it was Gershwin, wonderfully done."

Premier Pop Pianist
Emile Pandolfi
“Fun with Your Favorites”

Adults: $25 - Students (under 18): $20

“Few musicians captivate audiences down to their very souls. Pianist Emile Pandolfi is such a musician.”
Submitted by Jill Cogdill - InDwellings Board Member

"Pandolfi's command of the piano was complete; he played it like an orchestra. At times he used effects, like echoing octaves, that one might expect from an entertainer such as Liberace, but which Pandolfi deployed rather more tastefully."
Outer Banks Sentinel

"His lush arrangements include recognizable tunes to which he adds an enchanting intimacy with his listeners. His styles range from Rachmaninoff to Dolly Parton... His utmost desire is to entertain and enlighten and he does just that."
