Clovernook Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired is excited to present An Afternoon with Matthew Whitaker 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, November 13 at The Metropolitan Club. Proceeds from the event will benefit Clovernook Center's Arts and Accessibility Initiative. Clovernook Center for the Blind & Visually Impaired is proud to present An Afternoon with Matthew Whitaker, which includes a 90-minute performance by Matthew, hors d'oeuvres and refreshments. Matthew Whitaker is a jazz phenom who was born blind. He began playing keyboard at the age of three and taught himself to play the organ at the age of nine. A child prodigy and jazz pianist, Matthew Whitaker gave his first paid performance in Capri, Italy with other seasoned jazz musicians when he was just 11 years old. Since then, he's played in over 200 clubs and concert halls across the world and has opened for Stevie Wonder at the Apollo and performed with Christian McBride, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Rhoda Scott, James Carter, John Batiste and more. • Tickets are on sale now and range between $125 and $200. Those who purchase Patron Level tickets will have a special meet & greet with Matthew. • All proceeds from the performance benefit Clovernook Center's Arts & Accessibility Initiative, which works with museums, performing arts organizations and other cultural institutions to provide accessible materials and experiences. Often these materials are often cost-prohibitive for the arts organization, which is why the program offers them at low- or no-cost.
