The St. Clair County Community College Symphonic and Jazz Band is back in business after a two-year hiatus. The “Beginnings” concert will be held on Saturday, February 26th at 7:00 p.m. in the SC4 Fine Arts Theatre.
Conductor Erick J. Senkmajer said he has enjoyed working with community members again and that “it is fun to see musicians ranging in age from high school through retirement age enjoying their time together, once again breathing life into these dots on a page.”
In getting the band back together after the extended break, Senkmajer said, “We all missed making music together. Because it has been two years, it was hard to say who would be back, what our instrumentation would be like, and how much “dust” there would be in our instruments.”
The concert is a welcome sign that things are slowly getting back to normal for both musicians and patrons of the arts. The program is described as “light and fast” and a lovely way to welcome audience members back, along with the musicians.
Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door or online.
