Special Guest: Davey Yarborough | Directed by Reginald Cyntje
On Friday, April 24 at 7:00 p.m. Duke Ellington School of the Arts will host Jazz City (an evening of exceptional music with a powerful purpose).
More than a concert, Jazz City is a fundraising event, with proceeds directly supporting the school and its Instrumental Music Department.
The evening highlights the next generation of jazz artists while sustaining the very program that trains them.
It will be hosted by Sunny Sumter, president and CEO of the D.C. Jazz Festival and led by Director of Jazz Studies Reginald Cyntje.
The concert will feature The Mellow Tones with Director Taylor Young, The Jazz Combo and The Jazz Orchestra with Director Reginald Cyntje.
There will also be a special guest performance by acclaimed educator and saxophonist Davey Yarborough.
