Jazz Cabaret
February 6, 2027 at 7 p.m.
Warm up a winter evening with one of our most popular events: the Jazz Cabaret, now in its fourth year. With outstanding music-making, refreshments, and good company, it’s the perfect recipe for a memorable night out.
This season’s event pairs a familiar favorite with a fresh addition to the Concert Series. Fan-favorite keyboardist Asriel Davis returns with Five Note Theory, the five-member vocal jazz ensemble with which he performs. Making its debut on our stages, the group is known for rich harmonies, original arrangements, and a fresh approach to classic, sacred, and contemporary music.
Drawing on influences from jazz, gospel, pop, and the Great American Songbook, Five Note Theory brings warmth, energy, and its own distinctive sound to familiar favorites. Join us for an intimate evening of exceptional live music and the welcoming atmosphere that has made the Jazz Cabaret a favorite winter tradition.
