Jarrard Harris, conductor
Duke Ellington is considered the most prolific composer in the history of jazz, and his orchestra was one of the most documented of all jazz ensembles. Because he traveled by rail throughout his performing career, Ellington developed a great affection for trains and incorporated their onomatopoeia into many of his compositions. Come “Take the ‘A’ Train” with “Jack the Bear” on “The Happy-Go-Lucky Local” as the Jazz Orchestra celebrates Ellington, his orchestra, and their music. Their program features selections from Ellington's Deep South Suite; Black, Brown, and Beige; Such Sweet Thunder; Latin American Suite; Far East Suite; New Orleans Suite and more.
Cost: Tickets are $6 for the general public and $4 for students with valid ID.
