After writing a piece about Jalen, I asked if he’d be willing to perform at the Mere Point Yacht Club. I called Curt Dale Clark, MSMT’s artistic director, who suggested I contact Andrew Becker, MSMT’s assistant music director. Nearly 100 people, including some friends from Thornton Oaks, packed the Mere Point Yacht Club, hopeful that my assurance that they were in for a treat proved true.

Prospects look good given Curt Dale Clark’s enthusiastic comments about each of them.
