The Blue Café series of free performances in Camden Opera House’s intimate third floor listening room presents Myles Kelley on Wednesday, Feb. 11, at 7:30 p.m.

Myles Kelley is a jazz pianist, composer, and educator from Appleton, known for his work with the Myles Kelley Trio, performing at venues like the Farnsworth Art Museum and Bistro La Cave in Camden, and has performed at several of the Jazz in June festivals at the Camden Opera House.

"Myles' musical style focuses on original instrumental music, blending improvisation, groove, and passion, often with dynamic visuals," said the Opera House, in a news release.

Kelley also teaches piano, jazz theory, and music production at the Maine Academy of Modern Music. He's a University of Maine graduate with strong roots in the Midcoast music scene.

The Camden Opera House has a new addition to the 3rd floor Blue Café: a 1941 Steinway M baby grand piano, a gift from Bay Chamber music school.

“It was sort of a chain reaction of generosity – a supporter of Bay Chamber gifted them a grand piano, and in order to make space, Bay Chamber donated one to us," said COH manager Dave Morrison. "We’re very excited for the possibilities for acoustic piano nights in the Blue Café.”

There are two upcoming events will make use of this new instrument – on February 11 jazz pianist Miles Kelley will do a solo performance, and on April 29 pianist and composer Ben Cosgrove will play.

Blue Café shows are free to the public and are supported by donations to the Community Arts Fund. Doors open at 7 p.m., at 29 Elm Street, Camden.
