Newberry College invites you to enjoy world-class artists and music at its 67th Jazz Festival, to be held March 1 on campus. The event will be held in partnership with the South Carolina Band Directors Association’s 27th Jazz Performance Assessment. The day will include performances by middle and high school jazz bands from across the Palmetto State, two elite all-state jazz ensembles, and the Newberry College Jazz Big Band.
The College band will be joined by a special guest artist, retired Chief Master Sgt. Tim Leahey of the United States Air Force. Leahey was the lead trumpet for the Airmen of Note, the premier jazz ensemble of the Air Force, as well as chief of operations for the United States Air Force Band prior to his retirement. Leahey will perform with the College band at 1 p.m. in Wiles Chapel.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
