Tony DeSare
Thursday, July 2 at 8 p.m.
The Coral Gables Congregational Church Community Arts Program continues its summer season with singer, pianist and songwriter Tony DeSare. Shortly after moving to New York City in 1999, DeSare was cast as the star of the long running Off-Broadway musical, Our Sinatra, in which he was praised by Variety for his "dapper charm." Since that time, Tony has earned critical acclaim for his recent performances at the legendary jazz club Birdland, the elegant Café Carlyle, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. For this Summer Concert Series special holiday concert engagement, Tony DeSare is joined with drums and jazz bass for an exceptional evening of American jazz standards. Tickets range from $25 to $40, and full-series and mini-series subscriptions are also available for the remaining 4 performances. Order tickets by phone or online; VISA and MasterCard are accepted.
