The Rome Art and Community Center (RACC) is thrilled to announce the return of Collage Jazz, a five-piece ensemble known for their dynamic performances of jazz classics from the swing and big band era. The concerts will take place on the fourth Monday of each month until August starting at 6:30 PM.
The program will feature beloved jazz standards by icons such as Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, and selections from the Great American Songbook. Performers include:
- Colleen O’Neil on clarinet
- Rick Compton on flugelhorn
- Joe Ferlo on guitar
- Joe Karwacki on bass
- Patrick O’Neil on drums
“Monday nights at RACC have become the place to be for music,” say the members of Collage Jazz. From January through August, the group will perform on the fourth Monday of each month, delivering a fresh set of tunes at each concert.
In addition to Collage Jazz, RACC will host music every 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Monday through August, featuring a variety of talented artists. When you think Monday, think music at the Rome Art and Community Center!
The concert is open to the public with a suggested donation of $5 per person, which supports the programs and mission of the Rome Art and Community Center. Wine and beer will also be available for purchase by donation.
All concerts will take place at the Rome Art and Community Center, located at 308 W Bloomfield St., Rome, NY. For more information on these events or to learn more about the RACC, visit www.RomeArt.org events or call 315-336-1040.
