Adam Ghali, General Manager of Villa Christina, was delighted by the huge success of this summer’s jazz series. “We love hosting the outdoor jazz concerts here. The series is a relaxing and festive way to spend time with family and friends, enjoying live jazz and delicious food and refreshing beverages outdoors. Our last show of the summer is certain to be a crowd pleaser!”
Ending the summer on a high note, a splashy double billing featuring Alex Lattimore and William Green graces Villa’s greenspace on September 21st.
