The Creative Opportunity Orchestra was unable to premiere Courage of the Butterfly, a new jazz composition by Artistic Director Tina Marsh, as planned last month because its outdoor concert was rained out. But now that CO2 has made it back from New York, where it presented the work at CB’s 313 Gallery, the orchestra is ready to finally show off the Butterfly for the old hometown. The concert has been rescheduled at a rain-free venue – the Helm Fine Arts Center at St. Stephen’s School – so come hear the piece that was commissioned by the Chamber Music America/Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Jazz Ensembles Project. Saturday, Nov. 20, 8pm, at the Helm Fine Arts Center, St. Stephens, 2900 Bunny Run. For more information, visit www.creop.org.
