There’s no better way to kick off a weekend than to listen to some great jazz in the idyllic setting of Reston Town Square Park curated by local jazz fan favorite, Darden Purcell, this series regularly delivers some of the best jazz talent in the region.

The first-place winner of the Billie Holiday Vocal Competition and semi-finalist in the American Traditions Competition, jazz vocalist and pianist Sara Jones has toured 49 states and performed in numerous concert halls across the country. Jones has performed as a soloist with the National Symphony Orchestra, Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, and Ravinia Festival Orchestra, under the batons of Emil de Cou and Erich Kunzel. An additional highlight includes a solo performance on the Esplanade with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops Orchestra. In the Baltimore/Washington area, Jones was a featured vocalist with the Jazz Ambassadors and has graced the stages of the Hippodrome Theater, Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, Strathmore Mansion, and the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
