The Century Room

About this event

($25-$35 Tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows | 16+) Celebrated Los Angeles based sxophonist and composer Daniel Rotem makes his Century Room debut! Growing up in Israel by the Mediterranean Sea, Daniel fell in love with the freedom and potential for expression he found in Jazz after starting to play saxophone as a teenager.
