Join us for the premiere performance of the Glenn Korff School of Music’s new 21st Century Jazz/Classical “Crossover” ensemble – The UNL Jazz Orchestra “2.0”! This ensemble combines the standard big band instrumentation of saxophones, brass, and rhythm section with newly added strings, french horn, percussion, and voice to present music that reflects the evolution of jazz and classical composition and arranging. Our premiere concert presents new music, all of which has been composed or orchestrated for this premiere performance. The program features new works by Tom Larson, Darren Pettit, Derek Molacek, and Eric Richards.

In collaboration with NET, this concert will also be webcast in real-time and later made available on YouTube. Visit this link for more information: http://arts.unl.edu/music/webcasts

We hope to see you there!
