Walnut Creek, California 94596 - Introduction: Benefitting Arts + Rec Scholarships
Join the Walnut Creek Jazz Band on Thursday, April 18 for a thrilling evening of your favorite Big Band and Vocal Jazz hits as we raise funds for the City of Walnut Creek's Arts + Rec scholarship program.
The Walnut Creek Jazz Band has been bringing the Big Band sound to the East Bay for over 23 years and got its start when a “jazz ensemble” music class was offered by the Walnut Creek Civic Arts program (now Center for Community Arts) under the direction of Mike Rose. The early Walnut Creek Civic Arts Jazz Band was a mix of beginning musicians from middle school, and more advanced musicians from high school and college, as well as experienced adult musicians. The mix of different ages and experience levels is part of the DNA of the band and continues to this day.
Walnut Creek Arts + Rec is proud to be the beneficiary of this concert. Funds raised will support scholarships for our programs.
