Nationally renowned symphonic jazz pianist Copeland Davis will perform at the Royal Palm Covenant Church (660 Royal Palm Beach Blvd, Royal Palm Beach) on Sunday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. A six-piece group will back Davis performing a collection of popular jazz, rock, blues and classical music dubbed “The Best of Copeland Davis.”
As artist and arranger with numerous South Florida orchestras, Davis has extensive training in classical performance and is unsurpassed in jazz improvisation. He has performed on national television, including The Tonight Show, Good Morning, America and his own PBS special. Davis has also performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.
This concert will benefit the Royal Palm Covenant Food Pantry, which serves an average of 130 families per week in the western communities, which represents an average of about 780 people. “We pride ourselves in giving the best care possible in providing food for families,” Pastor Michael Rose said.
Rose asked the community to help out in whatever way possible. “Only by working together can we make a difference,” he said. “Thanks for whatever you can do to help make this evening a success. This year, the challenges we face are substantially greater than those of the past. You will not only help your community, but you will have a wonderful evening of entertainment.”
The grand piano will be donated for the evening by the Hamilton Piano Company. Tickets are $30 for adults and $15 for children 12 and under. Call Royal Palm Covenant Church at (561) 793-1077 to purchase tickets.
