His performances do more than entertain — they enlighten and spread happiness, one concert at a time.
Bremerton was the city where young Quincy Jones first discovered music. Quincy Square is a revitalization project, honoring Jones with focused arts, entertainment and music. The late Jones affirmed his support for the project.
The city of Bremerton and Downtown Bremerton Association will host a grand opening celebration for Quincy Square on July 12 and 13 including a formal ribbon cutting ceremony.
