More than 500 students in 27 jazz ensembles from across the bi-state region will perform at the 21st Annual Clark Terry/Phi Mu Alpha Jazz Festival Feb. 1-2 at Southeast Missouri State University’s River Campus.

Admission is free to the daytime event.

“The Clark Terry/ Phi Mu Alpha Jazz Festival showcases excellent student musicians as well as guest artists from around the nation, all contributing to a vibrant festival of jazz and the celebration of music performance and education on our beautiful River Campus,” said Dr. Joseph L. Jefferson, festival director. “This year, we look forward to welcoming new student groups, national artists, clinicians, and adjudicators from across the country. Every student will leave the festival energized, with a greater appreciation and knowledge for the art of Jazz music and performance.”

Capping events Feb. 1, Southeast Missouri State University’s Department of Music will present its second concert of the 2018-2019 Jazz Series featuring composer, arranger and jazz saxophonist Mike Tomaro. The annual gala concert is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in the Donald C. Bedell Performance Hall and will feature Tomaro in performance with Southeast’s Studio Jazz Ensemble and Jazz Lab Band.

Tomaro is a saxophonist, composer, arranger and educator. He is the director of the Jazz Studies Program at the Mary Pappert School of Music at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and co-artistic director and lead alto player of the Pittsburgh Jazz Orchestra, the city’s premier big band, where he composes and arranges most of the material that group performs.

The Southeast chapter of Phi Mu Alpha music fraternity handles the logistics of this event, including guiding bands from warmup to performance, handling collection of adjudication data, audio recording of each ensemble, as well as setup and teardown before and after each group. This is an annual service project for this fraternity which benefits the University as well as the surrounding community.
