William B. Caruth, Jr.
Memorial Jazz Festival & Concert
May 7 AT BSC
( Bluefield)--The Bluefield State College Jazz Ensemble will present its annual Spring Jazz Concert on May 7 at 7 p.m. in the Basic Science Auditorium on the BSC campus. Now in its 33rd year, the Jazz Ensemble is a unique combination of area musicians dedicated to the performance of the finest arrangements featuring the big band sound.
The day’s activities include a school band festival throughout the morning and afternoon on May 7, followed by the concert. The combined event has been named the “William B. Caruth, Jr. Memorial Jazz Festival and Concert,” in honor of the late William B. Caruth, Jr. who directed the BSC Jazz Ensemble for many years, following the death of his father, William B. Caruth, Sr., who had directed the Jazz Ensemble since its inception.
The Jazz Festival features performances by Jim Williamson (professional musician/arranger from Nashville, TN), Don Aliquo (professional musician and Director of Jazz Studies, Middle Tennessee State University), and Dave Morgan (professional musician from Fancy Gap, VA).
The BSC Jazz Ensemble has performed throughout the Virginias and North Carolina, including a performance at the gubernatorial inaugural ball of former Virginia Governor Gerald Baliles.
There is no admission charge, and the public is encouraged to attend.
