Since 2007, the Capri Big Band has been rehearsing at the Capri Theater on most Wednesday nights. We’ve been so pleased to have their music and collective energy in our theater for so long, and are excited to have them perform during our Grand Opening Week!
Under the direction of Faye Washington, the Capri Big Band will bring you some great grand-opening tunes in that inimitable, big-sounding, rich, full, big band style. Come hear this community treasure!
