Jazz in the Forest | May 2018

Jazz-InTheForest-MAY2018

The 2018 Jazz in the Forest series continues with two performances (4:30pm & 7:00pm) on Saturday, May 12 featuring a Django Reinhardt Gypsy Guitar Tribute: Hal Glatzer, Greg Shirley, Brian McCree with Jean Pierre Thoma.

The Wine and Beer Room will be open for attendees to enjoy before and after the concert. And as usual, an area has been set aside for dancing, so you don’t have to stay in your seat when the band starts to swing and you’re moved to your feet.

Two shows will be offered, with a matinee at 4:30pm and an evening performance at 7:00pm. Tickets for the matinee show are $18 for VAC members ($20 non-members)! Ticket holders will be able to purchase Volcano Red Ale and Mauna Kea Pale Ale from Mehana Brewing Company & as well as wine before each performance. Great pupu by ʻŌhelo Café will also be available for purchase.

Tickets for both shows are $18 for VAC members ($20 non-members)!
