The evening will also highlight the music of two influential Catholic jazz artists:

·       Mary Lou Williams – A Pittsburgh native and pioneering jazz pianist and composer whose later works were deeply inspired by her Catholic faith, including sacred jazz and liturgical compositions.

·       Dave Brubeck – One of the most celebrated figures in jazz history, known for works like Take Five, and whose conversion influenced his later large-scale sacred compositions.

This tastefully curated evening will blend world-class jazz with a meaningful connection to faith and artistry, while celebrating and helping to sustain Catholic education in the Beaver Valley.
