Holiday Concert Season Is Here!

 

The Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra presents Holidays with the CJRO at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 13 at the Lakewood Cultural Center.

Along with the beautiful vocals of Heidi Schmidt, CJRO will help you celebrate the season with a fresh mix of traditional favorites, like selections from Duke Ellington’s “Suite from the Nutcracker,” a rousing “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” and contemporary tunes like “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” and “Christmas Time is Here.”

Executive Director Art Bouton, Professor of Saxophone at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music, founded the band four years ago with the mission to perform classic big band and modern large ensemble jazz with Colorado's best musicians.

In a recent article Clarke Reader with Colorado Community Media quoted Art Bouton as saying, “Live jazz is amazing, because you’re able to see and hear people create music on the spot. Jazz is always changing, and I can’t wait to hear what the music sounds like in six years.”
