Jazz meets Classical! Join the fun as H3O Jazz Trio and Winona Symphony Orchestra partner in support of the Symphony’s Children’s Concert – Carnival of Animals. This month’s Jazz Jam takes place in the taproom at Island City Brewing Company on Sunday, February 19 from 2:30 – 5:30 p.m. All donations will be matched by the brewery and H3O.
The WSO’s popular Children’s Concert draws over 1,000 students from schools all around the area every year. Featuring special children’s programming and offering educational supplements, it is a wonderful opportunity for area school children to discover the excellence of classical music through meaningful engagement and fun performances.
This year WSO is excited to offer area students a live experience of the Carnival of Animals. Audiences will enjoy Saint-Saëns’ vivid musical depictions of favorite animals accompanied by the humorous verses of Ogden Nash. The Symphony’s Children’s Concert is offered free through generous donations and support. The concert – on Tuesday, February 28 at 9 a.m. in the Winona Middle School Auditorium – is recommended for students in grades 2 through 5. Teachers can reserve tickets online via the WSO website: https://www.winonasymphony.org/event/childrens-concert/2023-02-28/.
To date, H3O Jazz Trio and Island City Brewing have helped support local nonprofits with over $21,000 in total donations through the generosity of Jazz Jam patrons! The January Jazz Jam donated $800 to the Friends of the Winona Public Library.
