Join us for summer concerts on the lawn at the Eustis Estate, co-presented in partnership with Mandorla Music. Bring a picnic and enjoy music as the sun sets!
Our July 11 concert will feature Boston’s most alphabetical jazz group, the Olson Pingrey Quartet (AKA the OPQ. The OPQ is led by the husband and wife team of trombonist Randy Pingrey and baritone saxophonist Kathy Olson. They play a mix of original compositions and inventive arrangements of standards. They'll be joined for this performance by Mark Poniatowski on bass and Austin McMahon on drums.
Kathy Olson is originally from Charleston, West Virginia. On the baritone saxophone, alto saxophone, flute, clarinet, or bass clarinet Kathy has performed and/or recorded a variety of styles from contemporary big band to indie rock. In addition to co-leading the Olson Pingrey Quartet, she also leads Achilles Heal Saxophone Quartet and plays with other groups including the Ayn Inserto Jazz Orchestra, Conical Cacophony, The Two Bari Band, and Pete Kenagy’s Monkfish Jazz Orchestra.
Randy Pingrey is originally from Wisconsin and his career got kick-started by the exciting indie-rock scene in Eau Claire, where he was an early member of the Grammy-award winning band Bon Iver. Since moving to the East Coast he has performed and recorded with jazz musicians like Frank Carlberg, Bill McHenry, Anthony Coleman, and Jerry Bergonzi, with indie rock bands like Akron Family, Land of Talk, and Megafaun, and with classical musicians like Norman Bolter, John Faieta, and Doug Wright.
Please bring your own lawn chairs and blankets. Dogs on leashes are welcome.
Alcohol is not permitted. Snacks and soft drinks are available for sale.
In the event of rain, the concert will be canceled or rescheduled.
