𝐓𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐜𝐃𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐭 is no stranger to Buffa’s stage — but when he’s joined by 𝘚𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦 𝘖𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳, the mood shifts into something richer, more intricate, and unmistakably powerful. She’s an internationally renowned clarinetist, known for bringing depth and fire to every note, whether she’s weaving through traditional New Orleans jazz or reaching into the realms of klezmer and European folk.
The chemistry between them isn’t forced — it’s the result of years of collaboration, shared curiosity, and a whole lot of talent. 𝘛𝘰𝘮 brings his encyclopedic knowledge of early American music, Brazilian choro, and ragtime. 𝘚𝘶𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘦 brings a lyrical voice on clarinet that’s equally fluent in joy and heartbreak.
This is a night for people who listen. People who appreciate melody, conversation between instruments, and musicians who aren’t trying to show off — just show up and mean it.
🍽️ Full bar and kitchen service available.
🎟️ Tickets in advance are cheaper.
