In Concert: Dennis Lichtman and Mona’s Hot Five

Performance Music at The University of Scranton will present "In Concert: Dennis Lichtman, Clarinet and Mona’s Hot Five," on Friday, Feb.16 at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.

Lichtman is a multi-instrumentalist who is deeply entrenched in early- to mid-1900s American music, from traditional jazz and swing to bluegrass and western swing. His elegant voice carries through on all his instruments, lending a thread that weaves together the various genres he navigates.

Since 2007, Lichtman has been the clarinetist and bandleader of Mona’s Hot Five, the famed Tuesday night trad-jazz session at Mona's in NYC, which was profiled in the New York Times, and has been described by the Wall Street Journal as "ground zero for an emerging late-night scene of young swing and traditional jazz players.”

Lichtman has performed at Carnegie Hall, major festivals throughout the United States, and on stages in Europe, Brazil and China.
