Doubtless, many of you heard the news that recently, due to shifting administration priorities, the NEA rescinded the “We Always Swing”® Jazz Series $25,000 “Grants For Arts Project” award. We submitted the NEA Grant in February 2024 to help support of a major 30th Anniversary Season project – an April 30, 2025, International Jazz Day Concert with the home-grown 18-piece Columbia Jazz Orchestra performing the music of, featuring and under the direction of the great saxophonist Bobby Watson.

Originally scheduled for March, the Hilario Duran Quartet's performance caps off the 30th Anniverssary Season and serves as our Annual Dr. Carlos & Laura Perez-Mesa Memorial Concert. The performance, 7 p.m. at the Missouri Theatre, takes place Sunday, June 22. If you are holding tickets for the originally scheduled date, please use them for the rescheduled concert. Your seat location(s) will be honored. Remaining tickets are on sale through the Jazz Series Box Office, in-person or by phone, Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5:30 p.m., or online at thundertix.com. For tickets/information, plase call 573/449-3009. Don't miss the Jazz Series' 30th Anniversary Finale!
