Join us for the third annual celebration of the birthday of Billy Strayhorn - a native of Pittsburgh, a great composer, pianist, and the man responsible for many of Duke Ellington's jazz numbers, including "Take the 'A' Train." This family friendly event pays tribute to Strayhorn's musical legacy through music, dance and poetry. We hope to see you over the holiday weekend for the biggest birthday party honoring one of our namesakes!
