This past weekend, our jazz ensemble attended the UWGB Jazz Fest. Students were able to work with several professionals from the area, perform on the Weidner stage, experience a Q and A with some amazing guest artists, and connect with other jazz students in the area. We are always fond of our time spent at the UWGB Jazz Fest!!
