Bearing a compelling message on the power of expression, Shanghai-based communications advisor, media talent and jazz pianist Mario Cavolo begins the U.S. tour of his Catalysts To Change keynote performance on February 9th at the Lucy Florence Cultural Center in historic Leimert Park from 7 – 9:30pm. Fusing jazz piano with poignant cultural insights and anecdotes on the rise of Asia, the program delivers a moving blend of music and wisdom gleaned from his life in China since 1999.
Organized and sponsored by non-profit organization Grassroots Community Network Los Angeles, the keynote message and performance by Cavolo on jazz piano will also be accompanied by veteran blues guitarist Robert Dean. Cavolo will be live in studio on Grassroots Talks TV discussing his views on art and Asia’s rise led by China with GRCN founder Dr. Allen Brown, who said that, “As a guest for several weeks on our TV & radio show last year, Mario’s messages from across the Pacific were felt deeply by our viewers and now we’re finally working with him side by side delivering those messages to support the community.” Tickets for this fundraiser are $20, with proceeds benefiting GRCN’s youth programs. Call 323-293-1356 or (mob) 562 293 7595.
