Rio Clemente Trio: Love Returns
Theatre
Anyone who has listened to Rio Clemente play piano, comes away in awe. This master pianist mixes a strong classical background with a rich knowledge of jazz history, then adds an amazing sense of creativity and interpretation. The result is music that is different from others, and nearly always produces a standing ovation and cries for "more." When reviewers stumble for words to describe his work, it's because words fail to convey the rich depth of character, nimble facility of play and ease with which his music is crafted and performed. The man brings something very special and decidedly unequaled to the piano.
Cost: $15 in Advance - $20 at the Door. Contact Phone: 908-979-0900.

Rich Deans and The Folk Goddesses

Opening tonight are The Folk Goddesses, a band that John Platt of WFUV referred to as "Modern Man on Estrogen." Hillary Foxsong (Gathering Time), Martha Trachtenberg (Buffalo Gals), and Judith Zweiman (Strike the Bell) combine great voices, good songwriting, and a wicked sense of humor in this new combination.

Macculloch Hall in partnership with the New Jersey Civil War Sesquicentennial Committee, presents the exhibit, “Gone for a Soldier:” Jerseymen in the Civil War. Until now, many of the stories of the major contributions of Jerseymen to the Civil War effort have remained untold. The exhibit will make a major contribution toward telling these stories and bring together for the first time nearly 200 objects from the Civil War from nearly 30 museums, historical societies, and private collections. Throughout the course of the exhibit, the museum will offer related programs, including lectures, book signings, and family-friendly events. Program announcements will be posted on the museum’s website and Facebook page.
The museum will be closed on Easter Sunday and the Sunday following Memorial Day.
