•  FRIDAY APRIL 30 AT 8 PM: DR. LONNIE SMITH ORGAN JAM, Featuring Dr. Lonnie Smith, Joey DiFrancesco, Trudy Pitts and John Medeski. Dr. Lonnie Smith is internationally known as one of the premier jazz organists in the history of the genre. Celebrated B3 organist Trudy Pitts is also a Juilliard-trained classical pianist who brings to her instrument an array of warm and often sinewy timbres. Playing with an innate soulfulness, Joey DiFrancesco established his organ credentials with a virtuoso technique that belied his young age but spoke deeply of his Philadelphia roots. Rounding out the evening's roster, John Medeski performs in a range of musical styles, from accessible groove-based funk and jazz to more experimental music. Tickets: $26 - $64  
    
  
• SATURDAY MAY 8 AT 3 PM: PAUL JACOBS. Celebrated for his phenomenal technique, deep understanding of the instrument, and a huge repertoire spanning five centuries, Paul Jacobs brings his charismatic stage presence and unique sense of showmanship to every performance. The program will include the rarely-heard Sonata in D Minor, Op. 60, by Max Reger. Tickets: $19 - $28
