Kansas City Jazz Orchestra – Stardust Gala
May 18th was the date for Kansas City Jazz Orchestra’s Stardust Gala. Nancy and Richard Green, Margi and Keith Pence, and Jeanette and Kevin Prenger served as honorary co-chairmen of the event that was held at the Kansas City Marriott Downtown. Partygoers danced the night away to the tunes of The Kansas City Jazz Orchestra and its guest vocalist, Mollie Hammer. Proceeds support Kansas City Jazz Orchestra’s educational programming and its mission to keep big band jazz a vibrant and dynamic part of Our Town for generations to come.
