Jazz in the Basement: A Holiday Party with Monika Herzig
Join us on Sunday, December 9th, at 2:00 pm for a special edition of Jazz in the Basement with accomplished jazz pianist Monika Herzig. From 2:00 to 3:00, Herzig will perform music from her repertoire, which includes works by jazz legends like Chick Corea, Marian McPartland, Dave Brubeck, and Vince Guaraldi. Joining her for part of the set will also be D.C.-based saxophonist Leigh Pilzer. The concert will be followed by a holiday celebration, complete with German holiday treats and German beer.
Leigh Pilzer has performed at many of Washington, D.C.'s top jazz venues, including Blues Alley, Twins Jazz, Westminster Presbyterian, the Atlas Performing Arts Center, Jazz at the Garden, The Mansion at Strathmore, and the Takoma Park JazzFest, among others.
