Jazz Brunch at the Restaurant at Patowmack Farm includes the ‘Olivera Duo’.  In the Friday, May 20th, 2011 edition of The Washington Post, an article entitled “20 ways to love your summer”, by Lavanya Ramanathan included “#19. Do brunch in style”.  Here is their write-up:  “Patowmack Farm in Lovettsville sits on a perch in hilly Loudoun Valley, and there, at its organic restaurant, once a month, it serves soft-cooked, farm-fresh eggs and Chesapeake Bay crab cakes to the sounds of live jazz.  Make it the first stop in a day of summer wine tasting (Hiddencroft, Loudoun Valley and Corcoran vineyards – dubbed the Waterford cluster – are a short distance away).”

Sunday jazz brunches continue on August 21st, October 16th, November 13th, and December 4th.  The “Olivera Duo”, with Connie Olivera, pianist, and Kevin Olivera, bassist, provide a variety of jazz selections for your dining pleasure.

Dinner music, a variety of dance music, and a grand march to “Radetsky’s March” continued the evening, with the dance floor packed at every moment. Cadettes from the Virginia Military Academy assist each year with this event, adding to the grandeur and military element as is customary for a debutante ball.

Corporate Music Entertainment in Washington, DC

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

For the Worldwide Partner Conference in Washington, DC, Olivera Music Entertainment provided three corporate music entertainment performances.  At the APhA Building, a Guitar Trio entertained guests.  At the DAR Constitution Hall, a Jazz Trio kept the atmosphere moving with the groove.  At Teatro Goldini, a solo guitarist provided the entertainment.

Providing a variety of music entertainment for various events requires many planning logistics.  Each separate venue offers challenges relating to load-in procedures, security pre-screening procedures, electrical requirements, room acoustics, and storage capabilities, to name a few.  Having an experienced event producer ensures your events will run smoothly, no matter how many locations you use.
