Lawn Concert with Abe Ovadia
Tuesday August 1, 1-2pm Library Lawn
We are excited to welcome Abe Ovadia for a live, outdoor performance on the lawn (he will play inside in case of rain). Note this is NOT an evening concert - but a lunchtime one. Stop on by! Abe Ovadia has been hailed by Musicvox Guitars as a "jazz virtuoso" and "one of the most innovative guitarists of our time." His reputation as one of New York City's premier jazz guitarists has been cemented by Times Square NYC, who lauds him as a reliable purveyor of world-class jazz. Go to his website to learn more about Abe and watch concert videos! We thank the Board of Library Trustees for sponsoring this concert! |
