JAZZ ENSEMBLE CONCERT MOVED TO THE THEATRE
The Eastern Illinois University Jazz Ensemble concert scheduled for tonight (Thursday, November 20) is still on for 7:30 p.m. in the Doudna Fine Arts Center. But concert will be held in The Theatre, rather than the Dvorak Concert Hall. For reasons of safety the Dvorak has been closed until discovered problems can be addressed. The award-winning EIU Jazz Ensemble, directed by Sam Fagaly, will present a selection of traditional and contemporary pieces for big band. Special guest artist is EIU faculty jazz pianist Paul Johnston.
