The Art of the Duo: Kathy Kosins & Adam Shulman
August 28, 2014 @ 7:30 am - 10:00 pm
$15 – $20
Harmonious Jazz Collaboration
Kathy Kosins and Adam Shulman bring to the Poppy a musical conversation between voice, piano, and visual art, presenting material from Kosins’ 5 internationally acclaimed CD’s, including a few selections from her forthcoming soul infused jazz album, to be released in Spring of 2015. Showcasing her talents as an abstract artist, Kosins will also be painting live on stage, an act of canvas improvisation, inspired by the piano work of Shulman. The pieces created will then be auctioned off post-performance. The fluent blend of voice, piano, and paint harvests a multi-media presentation carefully crafted by the resplendent partnership of Kathy Kosins and Adam Shulman.
