AUG. 27 & 28/ IVORY AND EBONY SYMPHONY MEETS SWING

Enjoy an evening of classical music and jazz performed by the St. Augustine Chamber Orchestra and Trinidad and Tobago Youth Philharmonic as they present  Ivory and Ebony-Symphony Meets Swing! 

The concept of Ivory and Ebony-Symphony Meets Swing, is incorporating of the European symphony orchestra to play both Classical music (Ivory) and predominantly Afro-American Jazz music (Ebony) – a reverse of the popular song (Ebony and Ivory) by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. The objective is to introduce and expose the nation’s youth to seriously study a musical instrument, which can be used to play any type of music, thus changing an incorrect perception in the minds of our young people, who believe that the only instruments relevant to their experience are the guitar and drums.

Be sure to check them out this weekend!

Date & Time: August 27th & 28th 7:30pm

Venue: Queens Hall

Cost: $150
