Each ensemble will take the spotlight to showcase the best of their season's work, featuring vibrant big band arrangements, standout soloists, and high-energy swing.

The concert will culminate in an exhilarating joint performance featuring both bands on stage together, premiering an original composition by Terry Vosbein written especially for this event. Expect a big sound, bold grooves, and a whole lot of fun.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to witness two generations of jazz musicians unite in a spirited night of collaboration, creativity, and celebration. It's more than a concert-it's a community tradition in the making.
