Jazz Band to present concert March 10

The Harding University Jazz Band will perform their spring concert Thursday, March 10, at 7 p.m. in the Reynolds Recital Hall on campus.

The concert will include a variety of jazz styles featuring a range of songs from the 1930s through today's more recent jazz compositions. Songs will include “Hay Burner,” “I'm Beginning to See the Light,” “When I Fall in Love,” and others.

The performance is free and open to the public, and all lovers of jazz, including the swing band era of the 1930s and 1940s to more contemporary jazz listeners, are encouraged to attend.

For more information, contact the music department at 501-279-4343.

The jazz band typically performs two regularly scheduled concerts a year, one in the fall semester and one in spring. In addition to their regular performances, they often have another concert in the fall, such as their concert last semester benefiting the Humane Society of Searcy.

In the spring they perform in all five Spring Sing performances, and as the weather warms up, jazz band members occasionally have class outdoors and grace all who are outside enjoying the campus with an impromptu concert.
