JAG
Join the Columbus Jazz Orchestra for Red, White & Blues as part of its summer concert series at the Charleen & Charles Hinson Amphitheater.
Enjoy an evening filled with contemporary and traditional American music. Since Jazz is considered the first original American art form, it’s a perfect way to celebrate this Fourth of July. The night will be packed with America’s favorite patriotic tunes. Hear fan favorite songs including “Stars and Stripes Forever,” “Armed Forces Melody,” “The Star-Spangled Banner” and Buckeye fan favorite, “Hang on Sloopy.”
The performance begins at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. for general admission. Doors open at 6 p.m. for tables and premium admission. Limited table seating is available for purchase.
Arrive early to enjoy the smooth sounds of the Columbus Youth Jazz All Stars for its opening act starting at 6:45 p.m.
Red, White & Blues will feature gospel and soul vocalist Quan Howell along with special guest conductor Zach Compston. This will be Compston’s first time leading the CJO. Compston is vice president of education and community engagement for the Jazz Arts Group of Columbus.
