Coffee with Kaizer... Musical happenings for the week of April 22...

It looks like there are plenty of musical happenings this week thanks to Laraine's diligent work in scoping them out. Also it looks like Laraine will be performing with the Middle Eastern musical ensemble Bishr Hijazi at the Winchester Cultural Center. I have seen Bishr perform and they are awesome and most definitely a concert not to be missed!

Have a great and culturally filled week everyone.
