The Department of Music will host the Watters Brothers, two internationally known jazz musicians, this Friday, Nov. 7 and Saturday, Nov. 8. Free and open to the public, both events are sponsored in part by a grant from the Campus Life Enrichment Committee, the Jupiter Band Instrument Company and the Department of Music.
“These are two of the most exciting brass performers I’ve heard,” said Richard Mason, Ph.D., Department of Music associate professor of Trombone and Low Bass. “I’ve worked with some phenomenal people and these guys have more energy and more virtuosity than anyone I’ve ever heard. Their musicianship and interaction with the audience is absolutely infectious and incredibly entertaining. They play with speed that’s just unmatched. No one will walk out of the audience unexcited.”
