| Wycliffe Gordon plays side-by-side a Drake University Jazz Ensemble |
Civic Music Association concluded its 2010/11 Season on Friday, April 8 with the Wycliffe Gordon Quartet. In addition to the concert, Wycliffe presented a FREE Master Class and Workshop the evening before in the beautiful Turner Jazz Center on Drake University's campus.
It was amazing to watch Wycliffe work with students from Drake University and also one brave middle school student from the audience. He presented information with such grace and demonstrated all of his recommended techniques to the amazement of everyone present. Perhaps a favorite moment for participating Drake students was when Wycliffe asked if he could join them for dinner at Jethro's!
The excitement continued at the concert on Friday evening with a near sold out crowd! We hosted several students taking advantage of our great $5.00 rush and a fabulous evening was had by all. It is hard to believe we are done with the 2010/11 Season and already busy preparing for 2011/12. I hope you will join us as a subscriber/member for next season. It is going to be another year of MAKING MEMORIES!
