Schwartz's Salon: a new guided listening series exploring American music
Hosted by musician and educator Max Schwartz, Schwartz’s Salon invites listeners into four intimate evenings of music, memory, and conversation.

Sliding-scale admission ($15 minimum) supports rotating nonprofit partners. Sessions take place on second and fourth Monday evenings at Healing Force of the Universe, beginning at 7 PM, followed by a community jazz jam until 9:30.
