Emerging Lincoln Center Talent Dazzles MoCA Crowd
Last night at MoCA Westport, the Alexa Tarantino Quartet, a Jazz at Lincoln Center Emerging Artist, performed an amazing set to a crowd of socially distanced patrons. Music from Tarantino's Firefly album was played for the first time in Connecticut and attendees enjoyed her Firefly signature drink (an Italian apertif including aperol, prosecco, club soda and a slice of orange). The concert was moved indoors given the inclement weather.
Next up in the Music at MoCA Series is Jocelyn and Chris, a sibling rock duo known for their performance on The Today Show. They will perform an outdoor concert on Friday, June 11. Tickets available on mocawestport.org.
