Golden Age is honored to host this summer’s series of Lighthouse Arts, Inc. performances, celebrating jazz throughout the Pittsburgh region with performances by some of its best jazz musicians.

We continue that summer concert series this Saturday, with Chantal Joseph celebrating the life and music of legendary jazz vocalist Dakota Staton.

CHANTAL is a force of nature. Anyone who has seen her perform will testify to that. They might also use adjectives like 'high-energy', 'electric' or offer comparisons to Tina Turner and Stephanie Mills. But to really understand CHANTAL, you'll have to come see for yourself. For her, music is a life-long journey, and her latest project is the next step in an adventure that has already had her share the studio and stage with the likes of Kenny Loggins, Dwayne Dolphin, Roger Humphries and Grace Kelly. But now more than ever, CHANTAL is determined to leave her own mark on the music industry. Where others would give in to auto-tuned tracks and fashion trends, CHANTAL'S raw energy and fearless execution cut through the noise with the expressiveness and sensuality of yester year's greats, but with a 21st Century twist that is necessary to drive the dialogue of today's society.

Lighthouse Arts, Inc. was established to improve the quality of jazz education by making accessible the opportunities for students and the community at large to learn and experience the many dimensions of jazz music and the creative artists who play it. We shall incorporate partnerships with the community, schools and arts organizations that will recapture, teach and preserve the music’s history and culture, in an accessible environment that promotes awareness and appreciation.
