New York wants Stivers Orchestra

By Terry Morris | Friday, December 23, 2011, 04:16 PM

Dayton’s Stivers School for the Arts Jazz Orchestra has been invited to perform in the New York City Jazz Festival on March 4, 2012, at Lincoln Center.

The festival features top college and university jazz performers plus just four high school ensembles from across the country.

The Stivers group, directed by Claude Thomas, won the prestigious 2010 Berklee College of Music National High School Jazz Festival.

A benefit concert to raise funds for the New York trip will be held at 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 21, in Centennial Hall at Stivers, 1313 E. Fifth St. The program will include composer and trumpeter Derrick Gardner, who travels with Harrick Connick Jr. and the Count Basie Orchestra.

General admission tickets for the benefit concert are $10, online at www.theseedlings.org or by calling (937) 546-1675. Reserved-seat patron tickets are $50 and include a pre-performance reception with Gardner.
