The 6th Annual Jazz Faculty Christmas Concert

Members of North Central College’s internationally acclaimed jazz faculty will perform their fourth annual Christmas Concert at 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 8, in Madden Theatre at the Fine Arts Center, 171 E. Chicago Ave. The concert will feature a collection of well-known holiday favorites with a jazz twist. The faculty artists include vocalist Janice Borla, saxophonist Mitch Paliga, trumpeter Art Davis, trombonist Tim Coffman, vibraphonist Brad Stirtz, pianist Chris White, bassist Kelly Sill and drummer Jack Mouse. At the top of their game, each faculty artist is a talented musician-educator in the College’s jazz studies program. They’re all successful as independent jazz artists, regularly performing in public venues and releasing new recordings.
