Amina Figarova Sextet with Matsiko World Orphan ChoirHailing from Azerbaijan, then New Orleans by way of New York, Amina Figarova is an internationally influencedand recognizedcomposer, pianist, and bandleader. Her roles come to the forefront with her sextet band and with a remarkable chemistry that brings her detailed arrangements to life. Every member of the group stands out, but their dedication to Figarovas eclectic and powerful compositions gives the group its depth of feeling.In 2018, Amina composed a suite for a South African childrens choir and her sextet, which was performed at the Joy of Jazz Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa with a student choir from Soweto. Her aspiration was to record this masterpiece with the choir, but due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, it was impossible. However, fate intervened when Amina and Bart found themselves on the same flight from Europe to NYC with the Matsiko World Orphan Choir from Liberia. After conversing with the choir director, they decided to perform and record music together that was originally intended for South Africa.The choir consists of 24 orphaned and at-risk children from Liberia in West Africa. They are spending 10 months performing at jazz festivals and venues with the Amina Figarova Sextet, and churches across the USA, where they will perform to gain 1,000 educational sponsors for their siblings, friends and families.Shows at 9pm & 11pm Doors at 8:30pm & 10:30pm Restaurant is Open 5pm - 10pm for dinner before or after your showtime:Advance Ticket Holders can now automatically make dinner table reservations for the Dining Room online via OpenTable.com !Advance Ticket-Holders can also make table reservations for dinner by Emailing [email protected] after your tickets have been purchased online.
