You can enjoy a first-ever Jazz Festival in Sturgeon Bay next weekend.  Music students from Sturgeon Bay High School and TJ Walker Middle School will collaborate with Southern Door High School students in a day-long clinic led by nationally known jazz musicians.  Sturgeon Bay Band Director Heidi Hintz says the day will teach students to work in the jazz medium, a music language of its own and a true American art form. 

After the clinic sessions with jazz instructors from UW- Stevens Point, a concert will be held at the Sturgeon Bay High School Auditorium that is open to the public on Saturday, January 20th at 7 p.m.  Admission for the concert is $10 and will also feature Door County’s Swingin’ Door Big Band and Company B.  Proceeds will go towards the costs of the clinic and benefit the Robert H. Nickel Auditorium Fund.
