Valentine's Day Concert - Simone Craddock

If music be the food of love, play on!

Now in its fifth fabulous year, Simone Craddock’s award-winning Valentine’s Concert returns with even more romantic love songs from the Great American Songbook! Accompanied by virtuoso Harry Mitchell at the grand piano, Simone invites you to fall under the spell of tender, timeless standards by the soft glow of candlelight. From swinging jazz by Ella and Frank, to reimaginings of The Carpenters, this sophisticated soirée has wit, charm, and perhaps even a blush!

Whether sweethearts, galentines, or just lovers of great music, all are welcome at this joyful tradition!
