Local Shows Highlight Upcoming Tri-C JazzFest
Terri Pontremoli talks about festival lineup, history on WKYC and FOX 8
With the 44th annual Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland, presented by KeyBank, just two weeks away from its opening performances, festival director Terri Pontremoli is making the rounds on local news shows.
The festival features eight ticketed concerts in Playhouse Square’s historic theaters. Festival highlights include performances by Herbie Hancock, Trombone Shorty, Angélique Kidjo, Christian McBride and more.
Appearing on talk shows on WKYC and FOX 8, Pontremoli is promoting Tri-C JazzFest by highlighting its rich history of celebrating music, bringing world-class jazz to Cleveland and its mission to provide educational opportunities for students of all ages.
“You can have an outdoor experience and indoor experience or both at JazzFest,” Pontremoli said. “We have Jazz Kitchen. Our Culinary Arts program and alumni are doing food demos in the outdoor kitchens, so you can watch them make dishes and sample the food.”
Individual tickets are still on sale through the Playhouse Square box office at playhousesquare.org or by calling 216-241-6000.
