The result is a “series of joyously ramshackle improvisations…like Bach doing bebop” (_Guardian_). _ __This performance is made possible in part through the generous support of Gordon and Lisa Rush. Washington Performing Arts performances at Sixth & I are made possible in part through the generous support of the Galena-Yorktown Foundation._ SEATING: General Admission VENUE: Sixth & I
