Music in Mind: Plays Well With Others February 6, 2011

Faculty artist Chris Gekker explores the intimate side of trumpet playing in an eclectic program with a Baroque cantata featuring soprano Linda Mabbs; a new work by American composer Eric Ewazen with Evelyn Elsing, cello and Rita Sloan, piano; and works by George Gershwin and Duke Ellington. "The Jazz Professors" - Chris Vadala (saxophone), Gerry Kunkel (guitar) and Robert Gibson (bass) - join him in a finale of classics by Irving Berlin, Richard Rodgers and other greats.
