Terry Jenoure & The Portal
Sunday, 10/30 2:30
Terry Jenoure composer, violinist & vocalist has assembled a sextet of longtime collaborators including Angelica Sanchez (piano), Wayne Smith (cello), Avery Sharpe (bass), Joe Fonda (bass), and Reggie Nicholson (drums) for this performance.
Over the past ten years, Jenoure’s performances have had a fascinating memoir focus. Merging story with innovation, in her new composition for Real Art Ways she continues the journey.
This event was made possible with funding by the New England Foundation for the Arts' New Work New England program, with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts, the American Rescue Plan, Seedlings Foundation, the Fund for the Arts at NEFA and individual donors. This grant is in honor of Dr. Larry Simpson, a NEFA board member from 2006-2020, including six years as chair, and a champion of the arts.
