The annual Jazz Festival not only allows the public in area communities to hear great music, but it’s also a time for University of Mary music students and visiting high school students to learn from the industry’s best.  

“The thing that always excites me most about the jazz festival concerts is our students getting to interact with world-class musicians and performers,” said alumnus Brian Lydeen (’94), the eighth director of Jazz Studies at Mary and in charge of the festival. “They learn so much from working with these artists. I also love the fact that we are bringing such great quality jazz to an area that doesn't get a lot of artists of this caliber coming through on regular tour stops. This is the one jazz event every year that people from the community count on to hear fabulous performers and music. It's the premier jazz event in the upper Midwest.” 

The public concert starts at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, January 27 at the Belle Mehus Auditorium in downtown 俾斯麦. Tickets are general admission and can be purchased for $15 在线 through the Jazz Festival website at  ys73.nemeanbuhar.com/jazz,在门口, or in person with cash or check only at Eckroth Music.

“These musicians have an eclectic background,” added Lydeen. “They have played with some of the biggest names out there in the field of contemporary jazz. Adam and Scott worked together for many years in the Twin-Cities, and Aimee is a growing presence from the Los Angeles area. Her YouTube channel is innovative and, in many ways, the new classroom of the 21st century. Greg Yasinitsky is a veteran jazz saxophonist, educator, composer, and arranger. Every director that's stepped in front of a jazz ensemble has probably played one of his charts. Guitarist Bob Peske is a local legend and veteran teacher and performer. He was featured at the festival twice during the early days in the 1980s and accompanied the University of Mary Jazz Ensemble on one of their trips to the coveted Montreux Jazz Festival back in the 90s.”
