Natchez Festival of Music

The Pfister Sisters are coming!
I'm really looking forward to this weekend, as the festival's "Night of Jazz" comes up May 23. This year's jazz group is The Pfister Sisters, of New Orleans, LA. They are a close harmony group along the lines of the Andrews Sisters, but with a better show. You can see more about them at PfisterSisters.com.

For those of you who don't know, the Natchez Festival of Music has events throughout the month of May. Last weekend was Broadway time, with Oklahoma! taking center stage. Our "Curly" was none other than Nat Chandler, who gained fame playing the phantom of Phantom of the Opera for 5 years on Broadway.
In case there are opera lovers out there, Mozart's Cosi fan Tutte is on deck for the last weekend of May, followed by a Gala attended by hundreds of music fans as well as many of the performers.

Things will slow down a bit here in Natchez after the festival, though there will be a few good events leading up to the Great Mississippi River Balloon Race in October.
By the way, you can see the other events slated for the Festival of Music at their site, www.natchezfestivalofmusic.com.
