Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra - Annual Ann Arbor Concert
The Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra returns to Ann Arbor for its 11th UMS performance, next week on Thursday March 15th at 8PM in Hill Auditorium. A student favorite on the UMS series, the LCJO made Ann Arbor a permanent stop on its annual tours of the United States and abroad. Playing to a sold out Hill Auditorium isn't a difficult task for the LCJO. Band Leader and Trumpet master, Wynton Marsalis always delights, offering a fabulous show filled with original compostions and classic standards of the big band songbook. Next week's program featurs highlights of some of our favorite songs!
If there is anything more amazing than the sound of this group, it is the fact that many of its members are just in there mid-twenties (both Dan Nimmer and Chris Crenshaw were born in 1982!) Youth aside, the LCJO will surely delight you and your friends with their smooth and rich jazz sound! To get an idea of just how fabulous this group is check them out on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRKBHt4ZeAw
Tickets for Thursday's show can be ordered by going to www.ums.org or calling the UMS Ticket Office at 734.764.2538
