New Tampa Performing Arts Center (NTPAC) is the place to be for music lovers next month. From jazz to soul and funk to classical, there will be something for everyone.

If you’re into jazz, catch a performance by Dave Stryker, a jazz guitarist dubbed “one of the most distinctive guitarists to come along in recent years,” by The Village Voice and who opened for the famed rock and jazz fusion band Steely Dan on their most recent tour. If classical music is more up your alley, Tampa Bay Symphony is bringing its “Passion & Power” performance to the venue.
