Sinfonia Gulf Coast will bring its 10th anniversary of main season concerts to a finale featuring the incredible New Orleans jazz band, The Hot Sardines.
The Emerald Coast Convention Center on Okaloosa Island will be transformed into a candle-lit jazz club on Saturday, April 9, at 7:30 p.m. All tickets are $35 and will be configured as tables to add to the jazz club vibe.
The Sardine sound is steeped in hot jazz, salty stride piano and the kind of music reminiscent of wartime Paris via New Orleans.
This is the style of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Fats Waller used to make: straight-up, foot-stomping jazz.
Add to that a rhythm section that includes a tap dancer, an upright stride piano virtuoso and a vocal front-woman with a voice from a by-gone era and you get a performance that is sure to entertain.
Sinfonia Gulf Coast has been kicking up the tempo on the Emerald Coast’s cultural scene since its founding in 2005. Each year, the region’s only fully professional symphony orchestra offers a steller line-up of concerts and educational initiatives featuring the orchestra and world-renowned guest artists.
