ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — If you’d like to hear Arlington Heights’ Dorothy Pauletti perform, Monday could be your chance. The 102-year-old woman performed on stage for over 75 years in Chicago and is still playing locally as well, WTTW reported earlier this year.

She was honored at a special event at her favorite venue, the Palmer House, and performed in her beloved Empire Room in May during an event to celebrate her achievements. Chicago Federation of Musicians President Terryl Jares presented Pauletti with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the May event, according to WTTW.

Pauletti will perform at 1 p.m. Monday at the Arlington Heights Senior Center, 1801 W. Central Road. All are welcome, according to the village’s Facebook page.
