St. Cecilia Music Center likes to say that “seeing an artist in Royce Auditorium is like having that artist play for you in your living room.” So it seems only appropriate these days that with St. Cecilia quiet and the Royce stage empty, the music center and jazz pianist Emmet Cohen are bringing a livestream concert from his living room to your living room.

St. Cecilia will present one of its 2019-20 season’s Jazz Series artists, Cohen, in a special livestream concert on the music center’s Facebook page Thursday, May 14, from 7:30-8:30 p.m.

Cohen appeared in January with his trio and special guest, legendary saxophonist Benny Golson — and also performed the night prior at St. Cecilia’s Maestro Society Dinner. He has also played at SCMC with Christian McBride and Tip City.

According to supplied material. “Emmet says that he loves the people at St. Cecilia, and wanted to do a concert specifically for our audience.”
