To wrap up the events of Composer Week, we will celebrate the life and music of the late Canadian composer and trumpet and flugelhorn player Kenny Wheeler with an evening concert.

The concert will feature performances by the Faculty Small Group, under the music direction of Brian Dickinson, and the Humber Studio Jazz Ensemble, led by Mark Promane.

Kenny Wheeler was known for his jazz, but was also active in free improvisation and even occasionally contributed to rock music recordings. Kenny wrote over one hundred compositions and was a skilled arranger for small groups and larger ensembles.

This concert is open to the public - tickets can be purchased at the door: General Admission: $20, Students / Seniors: $15, Humber music students get in free.

All concert proceeds will go to the Wheeler family.
