Jazz Tea at Leland Castle

ArtsFest wraps up with an afternoon of jazz by the Jule Lyon Quintet at the historic Leland Castle. From 5 pm to 6:30 pm you’re invited to visit one of New Rochelle’s historic landmarks : The castle was built in 1855 as the centerpiece of the 40-acre estate of Simeon Leland; the building later became the centerpiece of the former College of New Rochelle. Today it is part of the Masonic Care Community of New Rochelle, who will welcome visitors for a free performance by the Julie Lyon Quintet featuring pieces from their 2021 Unseen Rain Records release “Whisper of Dreams” as well as jazz standards and other original compositions. The Tea Experience – a tea party catering business that sells loose-leaf tea and teawares — will provide refreshments for sale.
