Red Tie Arts' Nights at the Museum

We are darn proud to present Vivian Lee once again (Sold out at Lucca Winery Winter Concerts). We Love Vivian Lee. Not only is she a great singer, she is totally charming on stage. We are sure you will too.

Vivian will be performing with her trio, piano,bass, &
drums in the intimate setting of the little theatre in the cellar of the McHenry Museum. 14th & I Streets, Downtown Modesto

This is an evening that one rarely gets to enjoy in Modesto, a great jazz performance, a nice glass of wine, a tasty dessert or maybe a cup of Starbucks coffee from our no-host bar. Kick back, relax and spend a wonderfully romantic evening that will propel you to a smokey jazz club in New York City.
