Night of Gershwin

The Concert Choir, Una Voce, and Jazz Band collaborated to bring the music of Gershwin to the McPherson and CCCK community in The Warehouse on February 18th.  The Jazz Band accompanied the choir on “Fascinating Rhythm,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It,” and “Someone to Watch Over Me.”  The Jazz Band performed other Gershwin tunes including “Summertime,” “Love Is Here To Stay,” and “A Foggy Day.”  Jordan Summers, CCCK music major and choir/jazz band member, said “Performing in front of everyone was a mutually shared experience with the audience and ensembles.  It was awesome having a packed house.” This was the first time the choir and jazz band have collaborated to highlight one musician, which seemed to be a success, as The Warehouse was packed with standing room only.
