The FF Collective presents Sexy Songs as part of our new "3S" concert series. This program features songs by Reynaldo Hahn, some of our favorite jazz standards, and some cheeky musical theater selections performed by Paul Holtz, Danielle Perrault, and Tasha Koontz. This program was originally planned for Valentine's Day but who says you need a holiday to dress up and celebrate love? Bring yourself or grab a friend or special someone and enjoy an evening filled with beautiful music and a stellar ocean view.
