The John Paulson Big Band plans a big season of events for 2022-23 starting in mid October!
Three exciting events are planned to celebrate a decade of performances, workshops and recordings by the John Paulson Big Band. The big band will perform back-to-back anniversary concerts at the beautifully renovated Winona Arts Center February 4 and 5, 2023, in celebration of 10 years since their premiere performance there. In addition to these concerts, saxophonist John Paulson and drummer Rich MacDonald will work with student jazz groups as artists-in-residence at Caledonia High School October 14. On Saturday, October 15, 7:00 pm, a free concert will feature the CHS Jazz Band directed by JPBB trombonist Dustin Moburg opening for the now 20-piece John Paulson Big Band. Recording the third CD of original big band jazz by Dr. Paulson in March 2023 will mark the final event of the JPBB 2022-23 season. A fall release and special concert are planned. The Caledonia residency and Winona Arts Center concerts are made possible through grants from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council in cooperation with a private foundation.
