The concert will feature Mike Ruby on tenor saxophone playing the role of the great John Coltrane, and will also feature John Riley (drums), Arlia de Ruiter (violin), Victor Cheng (piano), and Daniel Jamieson (conductor/arranger). Alex Dean will be your host for the evening.

DONATIONS
Victor Cheng and myself have worked very hard to get funds in place to pay these wonderful 52 musicians. However, even with ticket sales, we will still be slightly under our goal. We are looking to you for assistance to help cover the cost of renting the hall and flying in our 2 guest artists (John Riley & Arlia de Ruiter). Your support is much appreciated!
