Music Conservatory serving up Global Gumbo at Little Carnegie concert

By Reader Staff

The Music Conservatory of Sandpoint is continuing its Conservatory Concert Series this spring in the Little Carnegie Concert Hall, presenting classical performances by MCS faculty and guest artists.

The next concert takes place Friday, April 14 at 7 p.m. with Global Gumbo — a high-energy evening showcasing the MCS Contemporary Department alongside favorite local musicians Truck Mills, Ali Thomas and Denis Zwang on a variety of guitars, percussion and woodwinds, respectively.

“In this program, these powerhouse musicians weave a tapestry of world music, blues and jazz,” MCS stated in its concert announcement.

“Imagine Afro-Latin barrelhouse blues played by Irish immigrants in a Turkish restaurant on Bourbon Street,” Mills said, describing the vibe of Global Gumbo.

As with all Conservatory Concerts, the evening offers intimate, cabaret-style seating, with a curated selection of beer and wine available for purchase. Seating is limited to 70 attendees, and advance tickets are highly recommended. Tickets are available online at sandpointconservatory.org/events or at the door the night of the event.

Little Carnegie is located at the ground floor at 110 Main St. in downtown Sandpoint.
