The second part of the evening will feature diverse performances by four musical groups: Shades of Blue, the blues band that includes special Nigerian artists; Yuan Yin’s zither ensemble, Lucky Stickz on the steel drum and Daniel Vnukowski, who will perform Gershwin's legendary Rhapsody in Blue. 

Complimentary tea, coffee, and water service will be available at intermission.
