On Friday, Nov. 19, NCCU Vocal Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble 1 will provide entertainment at 8 p.m. in the H.M. Michaux Jr. School of Education Building Auditorium. The concert culminates the week of activities for Jazz Week.
The concert is free and open to the public, and donations to the NCCU Jazz Studies program are encouraged.
NCCU was the first university in the state to offer the Bachelor of Music degree in jazz studies. The program now includes a comprehensive vocal jazz component and offers a Master of Music in both jazz composition and jazz performance. NCCU artists-in-residence and GRAMMY Award winners Branford Marsalis and Joey Calderazzo are involved in workshops and other instructional opportunities. Alumni from the jazz studies program include professors at the college and university levels, teachers of primary and secondary music education, as well as production and performance artists.
