Mads Tolling & Edward Simon: Music from Denmark, Venezuela, & Beyond
Details
For this concert, Grammy-winning Danish violinist Mads Tolling and world-class Venezuelan jazz pianist Edward Simon embark on a musical odyssey, finding the connections between the rich tapestries of jazz and the folkloric melodies of Latin America and Scandinavia. Given the caliber of these two musicians, I wouldn't be surprised if this show sells out.
EVENT COST: $37.50 in advance online (including small service fee), or $40 cash at the door
SEATING: Seating is general admission on folding chairs. Buy your own tickets.

WHEN/WHERE TO MEET: Let's aim to meet at the piano store by 4:30 p.m., when the doors are due to open for the show. (The show starts at about 5:00 p.m.; Piedmont Piano shows typically consist of one 90-minute set with no intermission.)
HOW TO FIND ME: I'm WF, about 5 feet tall, with glasses, and short salt-and-pepper hair (see my photo with my Meetup profile). I'll email RSVPers my phone number prior to the event - and if I get seated before other Meetup members, I'll post a comment on the Meetup Event Page saying where I am located.
TRANSIT/PARKING: The piano store is a short walk from the 19th Street and 12th Street Oakland BART stations. (The closest BART exit is the one near 17th and Telegraph, accessible from the 19th Street BART station.) There are at least two paid parking lots in the area, and there is often street parking unless there are shows at several large concert halls in the neighborhood. NOTE that parking meters are enforced citywide in Oakland on Sundays from noon to 6:00 p.m.
