Musical Salon At Rough Point: Jazz & Shakespeare II
October 4 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 PM
We are excited to partner with Puddingstone Festival on an evening of music at Rough Point! Our founder Doris Duke was a supporter of the arts, as well as a musician and a dancer. We are delighted to host this evening celebrating the performing arts in her home.
This fall, Puddingstone introduces an exciting new mini-series, “Jazz & Shakespeare.” Each event in this series pairs dramatic readings of Shakespearean monologues and scenes with world-class jazz performances for a one-of-a-kind artistic fusion. Trombonist Nick Finzer, hailed as a “rising star in jazz” by DownBeat Magazine, brings his quartet to Newport for an electrifying concert featuring original works and jazz classics. The evening will be enriched by actors Jay Bragan and David Chrzanowski, who will perform a selection of Shakespeare monologues and scenes, woven into the musical program.
Doors open at 6:00 PM. The show begins at 6:30 PM.
