It’s a fundraiser for the Healdsburg Jazz Festival to take place Sunday, Sept. 9 at “Beaterra,” the Tricia Coxhead / Jerry Anderson residence (see image at bottom of the page for a view from the garden). Space is limited to 100 guests @ $125 per person.

Italian Music will fill the air, live from the Billy Packard Trio, with Packard on mandolin, Jack Bowers on keyboards and Steve Larken on upright bass. Packard plays the most loved classic, romantic music of the Western world, caressing warm memories out of every string on his mandolin, and timeless beauty from each respectful arrangement of these lovely melodies written through the ages.

Billy’s repertoire includes Italina Polkas and Waltzes, and Tango — to Bossa Nova, Samba and Choro plus a light touch of Classical music. His musical direction was greatly influenced by his early mandolin mentors, Italian  immigrants Ricardo Tunzi, Tony Flores, and Matio Casserino.

This is a fundraiser for the Healdsburg Jazz Festival, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization.  $75 dollars of the ticket price is tax deductible. For more information contact us at info@healdsburgjazzfestival.org .
