This month’s #ArtistSpotlight is John Kofi Dapaah! Just over a year ago, John performed music from his Christmas album as part of Ascension Jazz and Chamber Series. In the following posts we’re going to highlight some of his work!

Our artistic director presents a holiday message and brings a little Christmas cheer with some festive music. While we look forward to potential in-person concerts later in 2021, stay tuned to our social media channels for upcoming content from artists from past seasons!

An announcement about our 2020-2021 Season. Due to Covid-19, we have to cancel our regular season. But we are not going away! Instead, throughout the season we will be promoting past performers and Aude will be sharing some recordings! Here is her first recording: Pauline Viardot's Mazourke, VWV 3012.
