The Dot Jazz Series will return for a live performance by Naledi Masilo on Sat., March 19, at 8 p.m. in Peabody Hall at All Saints Church in Ashmont.
The vocalist cultivated her love for music and her conviction that it has been gifted to the world to move our hearts to action at backyard jam sessions while growing up in Johannesburg.

Rooted in her exploration of the jazz tradition and the influences of her South African heritage, the recent New England Conservatory graduate is currently appearing in “Dreaming Zenzile,” the acclaimed touring theatrical tribute to Miriam Makeba. She also recently toured and recorded with Boston jazz veteran Bill Lowe’s Signifyin’ Natives project.

In addition to performing, Naledi founded the South Africa based Dreaming Girls Foundation and has worked as a teaching artist at Boston City Singers. 

For this Dot Jazz Series appearance, Naledi will be joined by Kevin Harris on keyboard and Shahar Amdor on saxophone and flute.
Admission is $20, $10 for youth under 18. Attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination and to remain masked during the concert.
The Dot Jazz Series is presented by Mandorla Music and Greater Ashmont Main Street.
