Kirkwood
Vocal
Jazz Fest Set for March 5
Posted 4 March
2010
Another
long-standing musical tradition at Kirkwood Community College takes
center stage Friday, March 5. Kirkwood’s award-winning jazz vocal
groups will join dozens of Iowa high school singers and a special guest
artist for Vocal Jazz Fest 2010. A day of workshops and learning will
culminate in a public concert at 8 p.m. in Kirkwood’s Ballantyne
Auditorium.
Acclaimed arranger/educator Kerry Marsh (pictured) is guest artist for
the festival, working with the student groups and performing with them
during the day, then leading and performing with Kirkwood’s ensembles
in the evening concert. The festival events and concert are directed by
Kirkwood Vocal Director Ray Salucka. He calls the festival “an
energetic, inspiring event” for visiting performers and student
vocalists alike.
“We have enjoyed great response from our spring vocal jazz festival
every year. This March we are most fortunate to have a guest who
embodies the joy and discipline that mark the best in our craft. Kerry
will be a powerful talent on stage, and we know our visitors, the
Kirkwood students and audience members alike will enjoy the spirit he
imparts in teaching and performing,” Saluka observed.
Kerry Marsh is a member of the jazz studies faculty at Sacramento State
University, directing the three vocal jazz ensembles, teaching jazz
arranging, and overseeing the jazz voice studies program. Kerry earned
his undergraduate degree from The University of Kansas and a master’s
degree in Jazz Studies from the University of North Texas in 2003.
Under Marsh's direction, the Sacramento State Jazz Singers performed at
International Association of Jazz Educators conferences in Long Beach,
CA, and New York City. These two ensembles were awarded a total of five
Down Beat Magazine Student Music Awards between 2005 and 2008.
Marsh is a leading composer and arranger of music for vocal jazz
ensembles, instrumental jazz ensembles, marching bands and other
musical groups. Marsh won a 2003 Down Beat Student Music Award for his
arrangement of John Coltrane's 'Impressions' for vocal jazz ensemble.
Tickets for the March 5 evening Vocal Jazz Fest concert are $8 for
adults and $5 for seniors and students with current ID. Kirkwood
faculty, staff and students are admitted free of charge for the 8 p.m.
performance. Tickets are available from Kirkwood Student Life, (319)
398-5578.
