The Salon is a fun and informative series of classes, covering a truly eclectic variety of music. Enjoy learning about and listening to music in the intimate setting of Tom's Venice home, with wine and cheese and lively commentary. This winter, Tom will present a new thematic music salon, with topics ranging from the Afro-Cuban musical connection, amazing jazz vocals, the passionate and mournful music of saudade and duende, music of the silk road, and more.
