A live instrumental jazz quartet will support the vocalists and perform throughout the evening, according to a news release from Community Arts Program.
Vocal Vibes Director Dr. Ardis Faber anticipates this annual event and encourages the community to attend.
“You won’t want to miss this evening filled with dance music, familiar ballads, up-tempo vocals from the swing era and the easy-listening jazz from Wally Brath and Friends quartet!” Faber said. “What better way to relax than to enjoy an evening out with friends while listening to some great jazz!”
In addition to live musical performances, attendees are encouraged to dress in the style of the ’40s and ’50s. During the evening, patrons will enjoy charcuterie, coffee, pie and a dance floor. A silent auction will feature items donated by community individuals and businesses. The evening will close with the annual pie auction, featuring famous and fresh-baked Dan Bauer pies.
“This is our fourth year conducting the Java, Jive & Pie fundraiser. We are growing it into a premier event,” Lori Widman, Community Arts Program president, stated. “We have outgrown all previous venues and we hope to fill Rodeheaver Auditorium this year. This will be an evening to enjoy good company, listening and dancing to live jazz music ... all while supporting our artistic programs; you won’t want to miss this opportunity.”
Tickets are available at https://www.capwarsaw.com/event-list and are $30 for an individual and $220 for a table of eight. All proceeds benefit the Community Arts Program’s mission to provide various creative, collaborative experiences that allow people in Kosciusko County to discover, develop and share their musical and artistic gifts.
