Bluffton University's Jazz Ensemble and Concert Band will take center stage Sunday, Oct. 30, for the university's annual Fall Instrumental Concert, at 2:30 p.m. in Yoder Recital Hall. The concert is free and open to the public; an offering will be taken for music scholarships.
The Jazz Ensemble, directed by Dr. Adam Schattschneider, professor of music, will present seven numbers, including swing-era classics "In The Mood" by Joe Garland-with an arrangement by Paul Lavender-and "Take the 'A' Train" by Billy Strayhorn.
Dr. Jeffrey Boehm, professor of music, conducts the Concert Band, which will perform an "American Vistas"-themed program featuring "Michigan Sketches for Concert Band" by Dr. Peter Terry, an associate professor of music at Bluffton, and "Shenandoah," conducted by James Brake, a Bluffton senior from Ohio City.
