The Music Settlement will be featured on the grassy knoll adjacent to Nighttown with guest performers Guerrieri/Perrine Duo, an electric bass and tenor saxophone pair playing jazz and blues. It will also bring Thorne Musica to Cedar Fairmount with Paul Kovac and Caroline King, and there will be a table with instruments available for all to try. Local musicians Blue Lunch and Harry Bacharach will perform during the afternoon while children have the opportunity to build their own designs with Faber Castell kits available at the Cleveland Heights Church.
