Third Sunday Concert: Latin jazz harpist Patrice Fisher and Arpa

Classically-trained harpist Patrice Fisher, along with her group Arpa and special guests, will perform a program of Latin jazz and traditional New Orleans favorites at the Third Sunday Concert at Christ Episcopal Church, Covington, on Sunday, Nov. 15. The concert will be staged in the church, beginning at 5 p.m. (doors open at 4:30 p.m.).

Fisher is known for her unique fusion of jazz with Brazilian, Cuban, and New Orleans musical influences and compositions that feature vibrant rhythms with a cross-cultural flair.  A graduate of Tulane University and the Creative Music Studio Jazz School, she has released 16 albums of original music, including Happy Socks, featuring collaborations with musicians from New Orleans, Brazil, Guatemala, Cuba and Honduras. She has performed at major festivals worldwide, establishing herself as a leading voice in Latin jazz.

Performing with Fisher at the Third Sunday Concert will be members of Arpa, including New Orleans pianist Fran Comisky, Honduran percussionist Orlando Solorzano and Guatemalan Cajón player Carlos Valladares, and special guests.

Christ Church is located at 120 S. New Hampshire, near the Covington downtown area and just before the entrance to Bogue Falaya Park. The handicap accessible entrance to the sanctuary is located on the park side of the main church.

Admission-free and open to the public, the performances offer a variety of musical genres performed by professional artists.
