19-year-old Grace Kelly, saxophonist, composer, and Jazz artist of the year (Boston Music Awards 2008 and 2010), will entertain luncheon guests at a fundraiser for Sandisfield’s history book project on Sunday, June 26th at Noon. Held in the nationally acclaimed rare specimen and rock gardens of the late Geoffrey Charlesworth and Norman Singer, the event features summer lunch fare, garden tour and historic talk by Ron Bernard, Sandisfield history buff and lead author of Sandisfield Then and Now: 1762-2012. The history book is scheduled for release during the town’s 250th anniversary next year.
Speaking of Grace Kelly a few years ago, David Was of NPR said, "What if I told you that the future of jazz rested in the hands of a 16-year-old Korean American saxophonist named Grace Kelly?” Grace will be joined by jazz pianist, Doug Johnson, and trumpeter, Jason Palmer. Tickets are $15 per person or $25 per couple with reservations strongly suggested. Proceeds from the event will help Sandisfield produce a comprehensive history of the town.
For more information or to make reservations, call Betsy Polatin at (413) 258-2820 or (617) 277-2224 during the week. For a sample of Grace Kelly’s music, visit www.gracekellymusic.com.
