"We have something new and exciting for everyone this winter," said Andrew Kato, the Theatre's producing artistic director and chief executive. "We invite our audiences to enjoy a wide variety of music with Jewish Life in Music, presented by the Joe Scott Trio with vocalist and cantor Jessica Turnoff Ferrari (January 2). Pop music enthusiasts will love the song and dance spectacular Live from Nashville (January 18) - and of course, everyone also loves our joyous celebration of the holiday season with the Palm Beach Gardens Concert Band's Holiday Concert (December 22), an annual tradition."
