Artie Shaw Orchestra

deanna Anderson, Neighbor

The Artie Shaw Orchestra will be appearing in concert on February 23 at 7:30 pm at the Princeton HS Performing Arts Center.  Artie Shaw led several different big bands through the 1930’s 40’s and 50’s, always trying new music.  A musical innovator and always a perfectionist, he was also an extremely talented clarinetist.  Under the direction of Matt Koza the musical traditions of Artie Shaw continue today.  The award wining princetonStudio Band will open the concert. Tickets for the event are $18 for adults and $12 for seniors and students.   Tickets can be purchased on line at www.princetonjazz.org.

 

The Artie Shaw Concert is part of an on going effort to expose students to classic big band jazz music.  Past programs have included the Count Basie Orchestra, Tierney Sutton, Wycliff Gordon and the Glenn Miller Orchestra.  Profits will be used to help fund additional music education experiences.  For more information and to purchase tickets visit www.princetonjazz.org.
