The Tri-County Symphonic Band presents “All That Jazz” Sunday, October 20, at 3:00 pm at the Tabor Academy Fireman Performing Arts Center, which will celebrate that great American art form: jazz.
The program, directed by Philip Sanborn, will pay tribute to jazz and will include music from the big band era, bebop, swing, blues and cool jazz. The concert features jazz saxophonist Marcus Monteiro of Marion, who will be playing both written and improvisational music. Monteiro was born and raised in Marion and later graduated from Old Rochester Regional High School. He earned a bachelor of music degree from University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth and enjoys a successful career as a local, professional musician.
