St. David’s Episcopal Church presents the 16th annual Jazzin’ with the Classics for Christmas, featuring jazz pianist, flutist and clarinetist Martin Lund, classical flutist Jeffrey Cohan and bassist Paul Gabrielson in a unique and joyous celebration of music for the holidays that bridges the jazz/classical divide.

Three renowned jazz and classical artists and friends meld their musical perspectives during this unusual collaboration and unique celebration of the Yuletide season that is guaranteed to generate an abundance of Christmas cheer. Lund, Cohan and Gabrielson team up to bridge contemporary improvisational jazz and the “art music” of baroque and Renaissance times. Instrumental musicians have “jazzed up” melodies familiar to them in the style of their day for centuries, and this team’s virtuoso improvisations on Yuletide favorites bring together the best of jazz and classical worlds.
