MacPhail Spotlight Series: The World Through Jazz

Join us for a musical exploration of the world through jazz. Curated by Christopher Rochester, newly appointed Jazz Coordinator at MacPhail, this program explores jazz and how it travels through various parts of our planet.

Experience the stark differences, but also similarities, between Bossa Nova, Afro Cuban, Flamenco, Reggae, Irish music, and more. Enjoy the artistry of MacPhail’s phenomenal jazz faculty as they dazzle you with striking textures and harmonies from around the world.

Christopher Rochester, sax and curator, will feature select guest artists from MacPhail and the local music scene, to be announced.

Pre-concert lecture at 6:30 p.m.
