Kasondra Rose & Helios Jazz Orchestra

TICKETS Reserved: $35. General Admission: $25. Doors at 6:30pm | Show at 7:30pm Presented by David Manson and EMIT, Inc. The 18-member Helios Jazz Orchestra, directed by Dr. David Manson, backs guest vocalist Kasondra Rose. Kasondra is an accomplished vocalist with two albums of original music and an extensive dance background. Her vocal talents range from folk, rock, pop, sultry jazz, to musical theater. Kasondra’s talent has taken her across the country – from singing in basement indie shows to tap dancing on an off-off Broadway stage in New York City. Her favorite credits include being a lead vocalist for The Florida Bjorkestra and the White Queen in Jobsite Theater’s original production of Alice. The Helios Jazz Orchestra, directed by Dr. David Manson, has been featured on the Clearwater Jazz Holiday, St. Petersburg Jazz Festival, and Ybor City Jazz Festival. It is comprised of top area jazz musicians who love the sound of a roaring jazz big band! An independent producer/presenter has rented the theater for this performance; it is not programmed by the Palladium at SPC. Whether in the main concert hall, Hough Hall with its unsurpassed new sound system, or kicking back in the intimate Side Door Cabaret, the historic Palladium Theater is consistently ranked as one of Tampa Bay’s best, most affordable venues for classical, jazz, blues, theatre, opera, comedy, dance, educational, literary, community events, and more. The Palladium, located in downtown St. Petersburg’s cultural center, is part of what makes Tampa Bay great.
