Words & Music: Stephanna Take Two

Steve is a member of the St. Augustine Orchestra and Anna plays in the jazz combo “Teal Cabana Club,” in addition to various venues as Stephanna Take Two. They are both classically trained and were featured in a “classical” Words & Music performance in 2023. They have previously performed in the St. Augustine Romanza Festivale, with the St. Augustine Concert Band, the St. Augustine Community Chorus, and First Coast Opera.

They are accomplished musicians in several musical genres, which includes today’s focus on Ragtime, Big Bands, Swing, and Jazz Standards from the 1890s through the 1950s. Whether playing Scott Joplin, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, or Carlos Jobim, you’ll surely enjoy Stephanna’s renditions of their works.

You can count on an explanation of the music’s history and characteristics from each era. They not only bring the music alive, but also provide the listener with a greater appreciation for the artists and their impacts on music and, in turn, upon society.

The Waterworks is available through the generosity of the City of St. Augustine and the St. Johns Cultural Council.
