SUMMARY:Jazz Band Will PIQUE Your Interest at the PCA
DESCRIPTION:WESTFORD\, MA: If you like Jazz music in all of its forms\, the Parish Center for the Arts has a new band in store that will surely satisfy. Boston-area PIQUE takes the PCA stage on January 11 at 7:30pm. Doors open one half hour prior to show start time. Tickets range from $12 to $20 for this cabaret-style show. BYO food and drink. Advance reservations are strongly recommended. Visit https://parisharts.square.site/product/1-11-25-pique/227 to reserve your seats\, or for more information\, call (978) 692-6333 or visit pcawestford.org. \nThe Greater Boston Community includes a number of Musicians that either went to Berklee School of Music or New England Conservatory or another established well regarded music school. A number of these students settled here\, some have toured with famous bands or have found a degree of fame on their own. PIQUE\, led by PCA “Jazz Jam” Host Joe Virga\, is a consortium of such musicians that have exceptional ability\, but are mostly relatively unknown. They have four terrific pianists to incorporate based on availability\, and the same is true for other seats in the band. They can quickly pivot to include vocalists or do all instrumental music. They can also provide different size performances as small as solo piano all the way to Big Band\, and everything in between. \nPIQUE performs original music\, modern and classic straight ahead Jazz\, often modifying the classic Jazz enough to make it their own – but not so much as to make it unrecognizable. They take on music from many of the greats including Miles\, Monk\, Bird\, Diz\, Coltrane\, Shorter\, Chick Corea\, Michael Brecker\, Chris Potter and John Scoffield. \n“Pique” also considers its mission to create opportunities for artists that are at the beginning of their musical journey. Promising\, dedicated\, and passionate newcomers of all ages often join in for a few selections. The goal is to inspire and to challenge them to reach new heights. The band give them an opportunity to play and rehearse with more accomplished musicians\, which also helps keep the group energized\, and all performers challenged. \nIf you like jazz\, cutting edge Jazz\, but always connected to the music\, never randomly off the rails join PIQUE in their next musical foray at the PCA – where past and present will transform into the improvised unknown. \nDirect Ticket Link: https://parisharts.square.site/product/1-11-25-pique/227\nFacebook: facebook.com/ParishCenterfortheArts\nTwitter/X: X.com/PCAWestford\nInstagram: instagram.com/pcawestford

SUMMARY:Annual "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Jazz Concert
DESCRIPTION:The PCA’s annual tradition continues this year with the return of music from a holiday classic\, presented by the very talented Aidan Scrimgeour and friends! This family set features music from “A Charlie Brown Christmas\,” originally performed by the Vince Guaraldi Trio. \nThe 4pm show runs ~45 minutes. The extended evening show begins at 7pm. Cabaret-style seating (tables & chairs)\, with room to dance along in the Gallery! Doors open at 3:30pm and 6:30pm\, respectively. Advance ticket purchases are strongly recommended\, as this event sells out every year. \nPCA favorite Aidan Scrimgeour is a musician\, composer and educator based in Brooklyn (NY). Growing up in Salem (MA)\, Aidan was inspired by the energy and talent of the local North Shore music scene and started performing locally at restaurants and jazz clubs as a teenager. After spending a couple years at New England Conservatory\, he graduated with a B.A. in Performance & Representation from Tufts University. Along with Roy Nathanson of the Jazz Passengers\, he co-founded the 5pm Porch Concerts Program\, an educational and performance collective that emerged from their daily concerts throughout the pandemic. His other projects include Pumpkin Bread\, a Boston-based acoustic band\, and Lissy & the Jacks\, a Brooklyn-based honky-tonk group. Aidan performs regularly with a variety of groups in New York and co-leads the Multigenerational Playing for the Light Big Band\, a large ensemble that performs original music and poetry composed by Brooklyn teens. Aidan’s website is at aidanscrimgeour.com. \nThis event is sponsored by Alan Bell\, AAMS\, Edward Jones/Littleton\, MA
