Cayman Arts Festival is known for its ‘Music at the Library’ events, but this Thursday, 21 Oct., it is moving to the Seven Mile strip to become ‘Music at the Westin’.
Professional cabaret singer Caryn Caffarelli, accompanied by Jonathan Taylor on piano, will take audiences through her ‘MOMufactured: Made Better through Motherhood’ show from 6-7pm. It is a parenting journey explored through songs, including a variety of genres from musical theatre to pop.
That being said, one does not have to have children in order to appreciate the talents of Caffarelli and Taylor. It is an event that will appeal to all lovers of music and theatre, and continues CAF’s commitment to creating extraordinary performances for its fans.
