SHOWS
 

Mark and Emily Kassenbrock are beautiful human beings and passionate patrons of the arts. They hosted their very first concert from their living room in July of 2016 and in December 2025, they hosted their 50th show. They wholeheartedly support local artists and 100% of the tickets go entirely into the artists's pockets. 

​

Playing original music to a listening room of receptive folks feels like the ultimate gift. I've been fortunate enough to perform in their home more times than I can count now, and I'm so looking forward to sharing these songs in their warm and incredibly-supportive home.

I pinch myself anytime I get to make music with Omari. Omari is a wondrous musician and he transports listeners to wherever the music intends to go - every time.

Blurb from the Music in the Mountains website:

 

"This intimate Golden Era-inspired musical theater program showcases Omari Tau in a show he designed, joined by Graham Sobelman on the piano and Natalie Hagwood on the cello for a close-knit trio performing Tau’s favorites. A baritone singer of remarkable range with commanding stage presence and a gifted speaking voice, Tau brings warmth, dramatic flair, and deep personal connection to the music. With more than 30 years in the arts, the Sacramento native is known for his genre-defying career spanning opera, musical theater, jazz, and pop, making this performance both personal and theatrical."
