Event Details

Please join us for a holiday jazz concert featuring the Eric Mintel Quartet.  With Eric on piano, Nelson Hill on sax, Jack Hegyi on bass, and Dave Mohn on drums, the Quartet will perform its well-known Charlie Brown holiday jazz show in which “Take Five,” “Three to Get Ready,” and “Blue Rondo” magically appear alongside wonderful arrangements of holiday classics and original holiday songs.

Dave Brubeck once said: “As long as the music attracts dedicated young musicians like Eric Mintel, jazz will continue to thrive and progress as a voice of freedom!”

Suitable for all ages. Registration recommended. Please register online or call 203-762-6334. For more information, contact asato@wiltonlibrary.org.
