The Brockport Big Band will perform a concert at Greece Baptist Church, 1230 Long Pond Road, on Thursday, November 18, at 7 p.m. The performance is part of a new community concert series presented by Jazz90.1 and Greece Baptist Church. This performance is free and open to the public. Masks are required, and seating is first-come, first-serve. Greece Baptist Church is operating with reduced capacity, so it is advised to arrive early for guaranteed admission.
The Brockport Big Band was formed 15 years ago by band member Lorie Bryant. Directed by Walt Perkins, the band is a non-profit, all-volunteer group of musicians who enjoy performing big band music. Their repertoire includes big band era standards, contemporary compositions and arrangements, as well as big band versions of popular hit songs. The group’s members are active and retired music educators plus talented people from various other professions. The band rehearses every Tuesday from September until mid-June in preparation for several Christmas concerts, the Brockport High School Evening of Jazz, and their annual performance at the Rochester International Jazz Festival.
