WBGO Kids Jazz Concert “Ellington!”

An interactive, multi-media introduction to one of the most celebrated musicians in history; the great American composer, pianist and bandleader, Duke Ellington! New generations will experience a wide variety of Duke’s broad musical achievements, from hit songs to blues riffs to scores for stage and screen.

This season’s five multi-media concert experiences for kids feature The Metta Quintet, the resident ensemble of JazzReach. The free and interactive, hour-long concerts give kids opportunities to learn about a new jazzy theme each Saturday and will take place in Essex County, NJ. Q&A sessions with the artists, small gifts, and a chance to win a prize, are just some of the reasons to come out and join us! Full series runs Saturdays March 28th to May 2nd , calendar at www.wbgo.org/kids .
