Subject: Fwd: 🎶 A One Night only World Premiere: Helen Sung Meets Bach Aria Soloists! 🎹

Hello Christopher,
I wanted to be sure that you and the Youth Jazz KC students all know that Grammy-nominated, Guggenheim Fellow jazz pianist Helen Sung’s only appearance in the Midwest is with Bach Aria Soloists and The Folly Jazz Series on April 5.
Bach Aria Soloists will give the world premiere of Helen Sung’s new composition synthesizing jazz and classical music, commissioned by Bach Aria Soloists, and performed with Helen, as well as an entire concert highlighting Helen’s improvisation on JS Bach-the OG jazz maestro-as well as popular jazz standards all in one program!
The Folly is also offering a first-time ever 50% off DISCOUNT for all STUDENTS and TEACHERS. We want to make sure the Kansas City community knows about this generous offer for the Helen Sung meets Bach Aria Soloists concert.
Simply call The Folly (816) 474-4444 to secure tickets for this one-night-only event, see below for more info.
I attached The Folly Jazz Series finale concert postcard for you to share with Youth Jazz KC students and teachers.
Thank you, Christopher, for sharing this important world premiere, Bach & Jazz concert with your Jazz students!
Truly,
Elizabeth
