Jazz wunderkind Solomon Keim stages benefit concert and art show in St. Pete

Thanks to the awards and positive reception he received as a student, Solomon Keim has been giving back to music education programs, and even established his own scholarship for college-bound students in Pasco County.

On Thursday, the jazz wunderkind will host a handful of students at VeroPolo—an art company that strives to amplify the rich heritage and culture of Haiti—to do live painting and a jazz-meets-hip-hop set on Palladium Theater‘s Side Door stage. On the side will be a silent auction that benefits the Solomon Keim Musical Excellence Scholarship.

Tickets for the fourth annual Solomon Keim music and art show inside the Palladium Theater’s Side Door Cabaret on Thursday, Aug. 15 are still available and start at $15.
