Jazz Ensemble Fall Concert
2017 Nov 15
During its fall concert, the Eastern Mennonite University Jazz Ensemble will play swing, up-tempo funk, two Benny Carter pieces and more.
The 16-member ensemble under the direction of Robert Curry will take the stage in Lehman Auditorium at 7:30 pm on Thursday, Nov. 30. The concert is free and open to the public.
Joshua Ayers is a member of the ensemble. Of its members, four are music majors - but that hasn't kept them all from enjoying "America's only art form," said Curry.
"It is a thrill to work with such willing performers who want to expand their knowledge and performing ability," he said.
The concert - featuring Brooke Bevington, a junior social work major from Grottoes, Virginia - will be the culmination of a busy semester. The ensemble performed for multiple campus and Homecoming and Family Weekend events.
