Seattle Community

Event description

Come join Biznik members with a love for music, a picnic, a little networking and getting to know one another while enjoying the outdoors and entertainment.

Concert featuring: Orchestra Zarabanda, a Seattle-based dance band whose irresistible repertoire is inspired by the great Cuban orquestas and son groups of the last century, classic New York salsa/charanga and Cuban folkloric music. Orchestra Zarabanda brings to the stage fun and highly professional performances of thoughtfully conceived arrangements. Equally at home in dance halls and concert halls, Orchestra Zarabanda is known for it's trademark sound of sultry melodies contrasted with the syncopated and exacting rhythms that delight a dancer's heart.

    Helen, I was looking forward to this again! So much fun last time. Alas, I'm headed on a camping trip this weekend and need to do a little prep on Thursday.

    Thanks for being such a primo picnic planner!

    Have a lovely evening. Rebecca

    I'm still hoping to be there tonight, but I'm not entirely sure I'll make it. It's been one of those crazy weeks!
