Rena Blades, President & Chief Executive Officer of the Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, today announced that this season's final CULTURE & COCKTAILS will be held on Monday, April 4, from 5 to 7 pm. With the title of Tickling the Keys, it will be a conversation with three celebrated pianists:

+ David Crohan is one of the most versatile pianists performing today, crossing the traditional boundaries between classical and jazz music.

+ Copeland Davis earned a standing ovation when making his debut on The Tonight Show, hosted an Emmy-nominated special on PBS and was inducted into The International Who's Who in Music and the Las Vegas Entertainers Hall Of Fame in 2014.

+ Wayne Hosford is an award-winning singer/pianist who has wowed audiences from Lincoln Center to The Colony Hotel's Royal Room Cabaret.

Kathi Kretzer-Sayler, founder of the Kretzer Piano Music Foundation and 2016 Muse Award recipient, Outstanding Civic Leader, will conduct the interviews and later join the pianists in a musical finale.
