A performance that should interest Jazz fans. Jazzy and jazz adjacent music from the era of trad jazz. I saw the group a few years back in Sumter, they are worth the trip, and tickets are even discounted this week.

One of the most unique performances to hit the stage is coming to the Opera House on Tuesday, March 12 at 8pm. The Queen's Cartoonists brings animated films to life and synchronizes their performances with the films projected on stage. TQC features Jazz Age composers like Carl Stalling, Raymond Scott, and John Kirby, alongside classical giants Mozart, Rossini, Strauss, and more!
