Jazz in the Garden @ the Torrington Historical Society

On Saturday, August 26 at 6:30 pm the Torrington Historical Society located on 192 Main Street is hosting the Southern CT State University Latin Jazz Ensemble. The Ensemble explores the repertoire of jazz and improvised music from the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking cultures of the Caribbean and South America.

Expect a concert with classic pieces from Cuba, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and other parts of the region. These students work hard to learn these traditional rhythms and melodies and their concerts are filled with moments when you will want to just get up and dance!!!

The ensemble is led by Dr. David Chevan of the SCSU Music Department. In addition to his work as a bass player, Chevan believes in jazz education in all its shapes, sizes, methods, processes, and encounters. He is a member of the board of trustees of the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation

Guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs, blankets, and refreshments. General admission is $18, historical society members are $15 and SCSU students and faculty are $10. To purchase tickets click here.
