Symphony meets jazz in Canton
Two distinct musical genres are going to get together in Canton soon, as part of an intriguing series of concerts.
The Canton Symphony Orchestra has begun its Divergent Sounds Series, in which musicians from the orchestra play with popular musicians from throughout the area. The next event is a meeting of the symphony with jazz fusion, featuring J.T.'s Electrik Blackout.
The musical genre known as jazz fusion dates back to the late 1960s, when jazz musicians began to blend improvisation and jazz with funk, rock, and rhythm and blues. Jazz musicians also began using the type of instruments popular with rockers, such as keyboards, amplifiers, and guitars.
The setting is casual, there will be a cash bar available, and tickets are $15. In lieu of purchasing a ticket, concertgoers are invited to donate a musical instrument that has been ‘gently used’. The instrument will go to the Music Alive Program at the Summit.
The Summit is a radio station, 91.3 FM in Canton, and the program is to provide musical instruments to children throughout the area who would love to learn how to play, but whose families cannot afford to buy an instrument.
The concert is scheduled for January 16, beginning at 7.30 pm, at the Zimmerman Symphony Center. Brochure printing can be used to create programs for events like this that explain the music to be played.
