After a successful first season, the Peace Center has again partnered with the Fine Arts Center to present the Fine Arts Center Jazz All Stars Concert Series.

 

This collaboration between the Fine Arts Center and the Peace Center’s Community Impact program gives up-and-coming young artists the opportunity to showcase their skills and perform in a professional setting. Featuring students from the jazz studies department, along with Jazz Studies Instructor Steve Watson, these concerts give audiences the opportunity to see local rising stars.

 

All concerts are held in Genevieve’s theater lounge at the Peace Center, where food and beverages are available for purchase.
