First Friday Concert: Jazz Piano

Lancaster jazz pianist Colin Mekeel, will be featured in a free 30 minute First Friday concert in downtown Lancaster. Mekeel is the founder of the Temple Avenue jazz combo. A graduate of HACC Lancaster, the Manheim Township resident cites jazz pianist Ellis Marsalis as his biggest musical influence. His program will include Duke Ellington’s “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” “I Mean You” by Thelonious Monk, and Chick Corea’s “Windows.”

The First Friday concert series is a gift to the community from First Reformed Church, a center city congregation of the United Church of Christ. Only 30 minutes in length, the free concerts begin at 8 PM each First Friday for the convenience of those who wish to spend the early evening visiting downtown galleries before the concert.

Doors open at 7:30 pm. All are welcome to hear 30 minutes of inspiring music that will refresh your soul and inspire your spirit.
