The temperature may be falling, but the jazz is heating up backstage at the Rozsa Center. Don’t miss the first jazz performance of the season this Friday and Saturday, October 24 and 25.
Friday, the R&D Big Band — directed by legendary Michigan Tech Professor Emeritus Mike Irish — joins JazTec, Michigan Tech’s top small jazz group, for an intimate concert performed backstage at the Rozsa. They will also be joined by the Video Game Music Ensemble, a student-led ensemble dedicated to arranging and performing music from popular video games.
On Saturday, the Workshop Brass Band kicks things off with some high-energy New Orleans brass band music. Then join the Jazz Lab Band, directed by Drew Kilpela, for an exciting night of big band compositions by Michigan-born trumpeter, composer and arranger Thad Jones.
Each evening provides the perfect opportunity for a fall night out. Let the autumn leaves dazzle your eyes by day — then let Michigan Tech Jazz dazzle your ears after dark!
