This Wednesday and Thursday at Piazza on the Mall

Weekly Wednesday Concerts Continues with Greg Byers
August 5th, 5:30-6:30pm, FREE Concert with Greg Byers

Throughout his lifelong pursuit of music, Greg Byers has overcome countless obstacles in order to become an idiosyncratic performer, composer, educator, and producer. Greg started playing cello at The Family Suzuki School of Rochester, NY at the uncharacteristically young age of 2 1/2. By age sixteen, he was a talented cellist, but was frustrated with the lack of personal expression found in youth orchestras.

Thanks to several mentors, Greg began to explore the possibilities of the cello in a jazz context.  After working in the Miami music scene, Greg decided to explore opportunities in Los Angeles. LA taught the importance of viewing music from the perspective of not only the performer, but also the composer, music engineer, and business person, so he applied these skills to his debut EP Some Dark, Beautiful Morning. In order to fulfill his aspirations of teaching at the collegiate level, Greg decided to continue his higher learning at McNally Smith College of Music, where he recently graduated with a Master of Music in Performance. 

Now it's your chance to come hear Greg Byers perform at the Piazza for an enjoyable outdoor concert! 

Thursday Social Jam Session
August 6th, 7:00-9:00pm

All are welcome!  Join Ross Hackenmiller Music for the fifth summer Social Jam Session. These sessions are a fun way to do some outdoor improvised music-making at the Piazza!  We'll have a stack of random percussion and noisemakers waiting to be played. Please feel free to bring your own too.
