SUNDAY, MARCH 22

Big Jazz from The Little Big Band! (2).jpg
The musicians of this unique Shenandoah Conservatory ensemble will play popular jazz numbers as well as their own works.  They are a hybrid group comprising six to eight horns and three to four rhythm performers.  This combines the ensemble and chart reading requirements of a big band with the improvisational freedom and expectations of a small group. Come experience their blooming talent on March 22nd with “At The Parish House”!

Emmanuel's  "At the Parish House" Performing Arts Series

 

We host events eight months of the year in our spacious, historic Parish House. Variety is our hallmark—performances range from classical masterpieces to folk tunes, jazz to rock & roll, Celtic songs to operatic arias, show tunes to local school choruses, poetry readings, and more! Pianists especially love playing our treasured 1896 Steinway grand piano. Every program is family-friendly and just right for a Sunday afternoon.

​

Tickets are available right here on our website. But if a ticket or donation isn’t possible, please come anyway—we want everyone to enjoy the music and feel truly welcome. After all, what matters most is that you feel at home.
