This quartet which has a program that includes bass, guitar, piano and percussion, with a unique sound, will perform a classical crossover group with a wide variety of musical styling from across the continents.

“The performances scheduled for this month’s ‘Distinguished Artists’ program truly represent an opportunity for residents to experience a wide variety of different musical styles and, hopefully, give them a chance to expand their musical tastes outside of what they normally listen to,” Councilman Coschignano said. “Residents will be treated to outstanding entertainment.”

The series is sponsored by the Cultural and Performing Arts (CAPA) Division of the Town of Oyster Bay’s Department of Community & Youth Services. Anyone interested in obtaining a schedule of free concerts should call 516-797-7900.
