Free Jazz Concert in Chase Park June 5

AllThatJazz2The Hoff-Barthelson Music School Jazz Department will present its final jazz ensemble performances of the year on Sunday, June 5 at 6 pm in Scarsdale’s Chase Park. The outdoor concert is always a big hit with local residents and members of the school community.

The program, under the direction of Ed Palermo, Coordinator of the Jazz Studies Program, is entitled All That Jazz, and will feature several of the Music School’s smokin’ student jazz ensembles. The ensembles will perform a delightful cross-section of American jazz standards as well as pieces composed and arranged by the students and faculty. They will be joined by jazz faculty members in a variety of jazz combos.

The Hoff-Barthelson Jazz Studies Program, in addition to ensemble performance through which students explore improvisation performance allthatjazztechniques, provides a full range of jazz musicianship courses.

Everyone is invited to picnic and relax in the park while the ensembles perform. Information: 914-723-1169, hb@hbms.org, www.hbms.org .
