ON STAGE AT THE LEE BURROWS ARTS CENTER
John Allen : An Evening with John Allen and Friends – More than just Jazz
Friday, May 17th, 7pm “On Stage at the Lee Burrows Art Center” (630 E Street, Marysville).
The Yuba- Sutter Regional Arts Council presents author and jazz pianist Dr. John Allen sharing his multi-media presentation, which includes a live performance of jazz classics and his own original compositions. He is a recording artist and a performer on many stages. This performance is inspired by his being brought up as the son of a jazz musician with an appreciation of jazz musical history.
The purpose of this presentation, according to Allen, is to share this appreciation with the community and “Give people an invitation to explore this American legacy: jazz and its history.” Allen grew up in the Yuba- Sutter area and currently performs with the Yuba College ensemble. He performed most recently for the Yuba College theater presentation of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. He will also be performing at the California Military museum in Old Sacramento during the Sacramento Music festival May 25th at 1PM.
A special raffle of custom made Underground Railroad quilt replicas, books, and musical cd’s will also take place during the evening.
Tickets are $10 per person. Advance tickets are available for purchase at the Yuba-Sutter Regional Arts Council office, 624 E Street, Marysville, or online atwww.yubasutterarts.org/tickets. For more information call (530) 742-ARTS or visit our website at www.yubasutterarts.org.
