If you love jazz and even if you don’t, you will revel in the music of the Gonzalo Bergara Quartet this Saturday, May 18.

Lord of the Strings presents this popular quartet at 7 pm in the Civic Center Council Chamber at 200 Civic Center.

Gonzalo Bergara is a virtuoso composer and lead guitarist, who mixes a cascade of arpeggios with the sounds of Paris and his native Argentina to forge his own style of progressive Gypsy Jazz.

Gonzalo began playing professionally at 16 in Buenos Aires. By 17, he was already fronting his own blues trio on national television.

The next time you head to the Potocki Center for the Arts check out the fascinating exhibit on display by art students ranging in age from 5 to adults.

They are the students of Dr. Marillyn Brame, director of Visual Arts Art School and a designer of visual arts murals. She teaches classes for children and adults in all media – from beginning drawing to advanced painting techniques.
