The talented group consists of pianist Irwin Solomon, Joseph Lemme on bass, along with drummer Giuseppe Pucci and Greg Diaz on sax. They will captivate the audience with a unique presentation of jazz classics from the Great American Songbook.

Tickets are only $10 for adults and $5 for students. They can be purchased at the door or by calling CTS at 866-449-2489. Profit raised from this month's concert will enable Kretzer Piano Music Foundation (KPMF) to expand its music education programs for children in need.

KPMF is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the gift of music to children and seniors. "We believe that music enriches lives. Together we can provide music education to underprivileged children, and performance opportunities for music students," says founder Kathi Kretzer.

In addition to awarding scholarships for music lessons and donating more than 30 pianos to disadvantaged children and local nonprofit organizations, KPMF's popular programs include: + Keyboards for Kids: Group piano lessons for 100-plus inner-city school children at the Center for Creative Education in Pleasant City. + Kretzer Kids: Over 30 gifted young musicians who perform over 50 concerts every year in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and children's hospitals. + Music for the Mind: Concert series at CityPlace held the third Tuesday of every month for the past 15 years. Concerts have featured over 11,000 young musicians and raised $580,000 for music in our schools and community. + Physicians Talent Showcase: Annual concert featuring a group of talented medical doctors, raising much-needed funds for children's charities. + Keys to the Cities: Placed 18 whimsically painted pianos in public spots from Jupiter to Delray Beach for public enjoyment; pianos were then donated to local children's charities.
