The Milford Center for the Arts presents Duchess Trio, HARMONIOUS HOLIDAYS

Milford Arts Council, in association with Pantochino Productions Inc., announce the next show of their third season of the Nite Spot Nights series of cabaret entertainment, Duchess Trio, "Harmonious Holidays" on Saturday, December 9th at 8 pm, at the Milford Center for the Arts in downtown Milford.

Ring in the holiday season with sparkling three-part vocal harmony. From traditional favorites (Silver Bells, What Are You Doing New Year's Eve) to playful holiday novelties (Santa Baby, Mele Kalikimaka), DUCHESS will set hearts aglow and toes a-tapping.

Sure-footed swing, sweet-toned harmony and ever-insouciant charm are embodied in the new jazz vocal trio Duchess, featuring notable New York singers Amy Cervini, Hilary Gardner and Melissa Stylianou. Blending the classic and the contemporary DUCHESS has quickly earned a reputation for beautiful singing and big fun at the group's shows of "girl-on-girl harmony," as the three so saucily put it. The New York-based threesome made its debut on record with the eponymous Duchess, released by Anzic Records in February 2015. The album channels the 1930s inspiration of the virtuosic Boswell Sisters into a wonderfully entertaining package.

The New Yorker says, "Three fine singers...join together in swinging harmony to whip up music that traffics in delight...this fresh-voiced triumvirate plays it straight from the heart, leaving any trace of camp or post-modern irony at the door."

Nite Spot Nights offers six 'night club' style evenings of entertainment. Evoking the feeling of New York City cabaret rooms, the series is a varied collection of musical performances by some of the city's hottest acts. To enhance the experience, the Center for the Arts will be set with tables and chairs inviting patrons to bring along the food and drink of their choice.

Tickets for Nite Spot Nights are $30.00 and available online at www.milfordarts.org or by calling 203-878-6647, Tuesdays- Fridays 10- 5 pm. For more information about Duchess Trio, visit www.duchesstrio.com.
