UWGB Jazz Ensemble Plays On
Even in a pandemic, the UWGB Jazz Ensembles are still making music (with some extra precautions, that is!). Wind instrumentalists are using slotted masks in order to still play, and all the members are social distancing and practicing on the Weidner Center stage. A lot of music students and UWGB musicians did not think that music classes or ensembles would be able to be held this semester, but luckily, the professors and staff of the UWGB music department did their best to make sure the show could go on! This could add a level of difficulty for the musicians to be able to feel fully comfortable, but it seems like they are able to let the music take over and still make gorgeous sounds that can inspire and transcend through any troubles we might be going through. Make sure to check out the next concert, which will be live-streamed on the Weidner Center’s Youtube channel on April 27th 2021, time TBA.
