Historic New England and Mandorla Music present the second annual David Chesnut Jazz Festival at the Eustis Estate!
David Chesnut was a coachman and chauffeur who worked at the Eustis Estate from the 1890s until 1905. He had a lifelong passion for music as both a performer and connoisseur, and he was active in the community. The David Chesnut Jazz Festival is helping tell a more inclusive story about the people who were part of the Eustis Estate, while celebrating the power of art and community.
The outdoor festival will feature performances from
1pm Adventure Time Trio
2pm Jesse Taitt Trio
3pm Devon Gates Quintet
4pm Temidayo Balogun + AKEDE
5pm the Sheryl Bailey Quartet
The Boston Outdoor School Preschool Network will host fun family-friendly activities starting at noon.
Bring your own chairs and blankets for lawn seating. Festival is outdoors and will be held rain or shine, so dress appropriately for the weather.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase, including food from Fresh Food Generation and beverages from Dorchester Brewing Company.
Generous support provided by Milton Cultural Council, a program of the Massachusetts Cultural Council.
