The Milford Arts Council will hold a “Boogie Woogie Family Experience” with pianist Arthur Migliazza on Saturday, April 11 in Milford.
Migliazza will bring the boogie woogie and blues piano tradition to life through virtuosic playing and storytelling. Acting as a living historian of a music form rooted in African American culture, Migliazza takes audiences through its origins and lasting influence on American popular music, including jazz and rock and roll.
Migliazza is a master pianist who grew up immersed in boogie woogie and blues, learning directly from several contemporary leaders of the style. He began performing professionally at age 13 and was mentored by legendary artists Henry Butler, Ann Rabson and Mr. B.
A hands-on craft activity hosted by The Giggling Pig will encourage young audiences to participate and engage beyond the music.
Kids are encouraged to bring a favorite stuffie, pillow or blanket and sit close to the stage. The concert is open to audiences of all ages.
The family pillow series begins at 3:30 p.m. Migliazza will also hold an evening concert at 7:30 p.m. The MAC is located at 40 Railroad Ave. South in Milford.
