Joe Lovano: Family and Friends
Renowned saxophonist and Cleveland native, Joe Lovano, returns for a special celebration of his father, the Tony “Big T” Lovano Centennial Concert Celebration, with Anthony Lovano, Pat Lovano, Laura-Jo Fiorilli, Judi Silvano. Honoring the Cleveland Jazz Legacy! This afternoon’s performance will also feature a host of other talent from around Cleveland.
In conjunction with this concert, Joe is establishing The Tony “Big T” Lovano Cleveland Jazz Legacy Scholarship, an endowed fund in memory of his father to support merit-based scholarships for students in the “J@MS” (Jazz at The Music Settlement) program. J@MS trains young musicians in theory, history, and musicianship while giving them the opportunity to perform in dynamic big bands and small combos at Cleveland’s 113-year old nonprofit music school. Through its Center for Music, The Music Settlement provides accessible, life-enhancing music and arts experiences to people of all ages and abilities. Lovano’s endowment will help expand this mission and support students who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate.
All ticket proceeds and donations associated with this event will go toward helping establish this scholarship. This concert is SOLD OUT, but please join us for the livestream!
