Swing back in time to the Jazz Age! When jazz met classical in the 1920s and 30s, it created irreverent masterpieces such as Milhaud’s Creation of the World and Ibert’s Divertissement. MTS’s own Principal Trumpet Andrew Gignac, a double threat on classical and jazz, will make you swoon in jazz standards such as “Embraceable You” and Puttin’ on the Ritz”.
