Welcome home Virginia Music Adventures students from all three ensembles! Join us in celebrating students from the Chapel Square Combo, the Wakefield Jazz Workshop, and the Annandale Jazz Ambassadors. The concert will be held at the Ernst Theater (8333 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA 22003) on May 20, 2016. Doors open at 7:00 pm and show time begins at 7:30 pm. Tickets are $10, and VMA offers free admission to students!
These 12 18 year old musicians from the greater Northern Virginia area regularly engage in cultural good will music performance tours frequently coordinated with the US Department of State. This year, they are thrilled to have traveled to a wide variety of locations. 2016 took VMA students to exciting locations like the following: the Chapel Square Combo visited Mexico; the Wakefield Jazz Workshop traveled throughout Virginia doing community outreach; and the Annandale Jazz Ambassadors traveled to Miami and to Cuba.
This year, the Annandale Jazz Ambassadors were honored to be one of the first youth groups to visit Cuba to share in cultural exchange programs. Their 2016 show celebrates the rich contribution of Afro-Cuban music to American jazz. The repertoire includes traditional pieces by Bennie Carter, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Glenn Miller, and also celebrates Cuban compositions by composers such as Felo Bacallao, Mario Bauza, Luciano Pozo Gonzales, and Julian Orbon.
