Tuesday Musical and Kulas Concert Series:
Marsalis-McAllister-Ames Trio
Hailed early on as a young jazz lion, saxophonist Branford Marsalis has expanded his vision and crossed stylistic boundaries as an instrumentalist, composer, bandleader, and educator.
In the process, he has won three Grammys, a Tony nomination, and a citation by the National Endowment for the Arts as a Jazz Master. For us, he’ll join with fellow saxophonist Timothy McAllister — part of the Grammy-winning PRISM Quartet —and pianist Liz Ames. Together, they’ll blend the spontaneity of jazz with the structured elegance of classical music.

Akron Symphony Orchestra:
MOZART & VIVALDI
There’s something hypnotic about this program. You get the elegant wit of Mozart, the shimmering beauty of Vivaldi, and the surprising spice of Stravinsky and Romero. ASO’s own Jenny Robinson on piccolo will charm and impress you during the concerto, and the whole night feels like a spring breeze — light, crisp, and invigorating. If you’ve never heard how playful and virtuosic Vivaldi’s music can be, this is your chance. Paired next to one of Mozart’s final and most graceful symphonies, this concert is like sonic sunshine.
