(PITTSBURGH) – MCG Jazz, in partnership with the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, will celebrate Father’s Day with brunch and a special jazz concert featuring notable father-son combos. On Sunday, June 17, 2007, the Father’s Day Jazz event begins with a noon brunch at the Children’s Museum, followed by a live jazz concert at 3:00 p.m. in the New Hazlett Theater.

Marty Ashby, Executive Producer of MCG Jazz, perceives the partnership between Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild and the Children’s Museum as “an ideal collaboration between community-based organizations seeking to create cultural opportunities for children and families. Father’s Day Jazz is an excellent way to provide a unique and memorable introductory jazz music experience.”

All of these musicians welcome the opportunity to perform and share their love of jazz on Father’s Day.
