10 AM Realize Harmony Allan Fox Tribute Realize Harmony began as a production house under the creative vision of Allan Fox. Allan shared meaningful and motivational messages of kindness, peace, gratitude and love through his doodles, writings, songs and animations. His inspiration came from words of Stoicism, Buddhism, and other philosophies.
He planned to retire from 40 years of work in Human Resources to pursue his passion for the arts in a way that would help others by spreading mindful thoughts of peace and love.
You can enjoy the many benefits of Allan’s musings through Realize Harmony’s products and programs for schools, workplaces, and supportive spaces, and by helping to share the positivity with others! https://realizeharmony.com

12 PM Mark Whitfield & Dario Boente  perform Jazz and Blues. 
Dario Boente

The term "crossover artist" can mean many things. In the case of Grammy and Latin Grammy Winner Argentinian born pianist and composer Dario Boente, it means a musician equally at home performing romantic Argentine and jazz compositions on a grand piano, as he is programming world-beat electronica. darioboente.com
Mark Whitfield

Shortly after that, he returned to his native New York to embark on a career as a Jazz Guitarist that has allowed him to collaborate with such legendary artists including Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Carmen McRae, Gladys Knight, Burt Bacharach, Jimmy Smith, Clark Terry, Shirley Horn, Wynton Marsalis, Branford Marsalis, Joe Williams, Stanley Turrentine and his mentor, the great George Benson. markwhitfield.com
