The concert is free and open to the public.

The Ensemble will perform many jazz standards, including “Groove Merchant” by Thad Jones, “Sister Sadie,” by Horace Silver, “Perdido,” by Drake and Tizol, “Is There Anything Still There,” by Ray Brown, “Tiger of San Pedro,” by John La Barbera and “Chucho,” by Paquito D’Rivera. The concert will feature two new SU jazz groups: the Jazz String Quartet and the Improvisation Jazz Quintet.

The jazz program at SU is supported by a contribution in memory of Morton Schiff ’53. Parking is available at Irving Garage.
