Chrsitine Rosholt Quintet

Christine Rosholt Quintet performed for 59 people at Prairie Meadows Senior Living on Sunday,November 14th. The performance was thoroughly enjoyed by all and a walk down memory lane of great songs of the 40's and 50's. Kasson Library Director Bonnie Adams and Prairie Meadows' Vicki Heitman worked together to bring this great performance to the residents of the KM area.

Christine and her group performed flawlessly
(Don-Saxophone, Graydon-bass, Chris-piano and
Jay-drums). Christine has a very distinctive voice and puts her own personality into every song she sings. During her 90 minute performance she asked for requests from the group and sang Tangerine, When Sunny Get Blue, Stormy Weather just to mention a few. Christine's quintet developed an avid fan from the audience in resident Dorothy S. who enjoyed the music so much she asked if Christine and her group could stay longer and sing them to sleep.

This performance was made possible through a Minnesota Legacy Grant Clean Water Act of 2008 that provide cultural experiences through local partnerships. This is the third partnership (Rose Ensemble in June and Patrick Dewane-Accidental Hero in October) between the Kasson Library, Prairie Meadows Senior Living and Minnesota Historical Society Greatest Generation. The Kasson Library hopes to form other partnerships to provide cultural experiences for KM and surrounding areas.

Kasson Public Library next Minnesota Legacy Grant partnership involves the Rochester Civic Theater. Prairie Meadows and Salem Meadow residents will be bussed to Rochester to enjoy the play White Christmas on Sunday, December 5 at 2pm.
