Swingin' Soirée 2008

Looking Back. Swingin' Forward.

Join us as we kick off our 35th year and honor the legendary band members who have been with us from the very start at the fourth annual Swingin’ Soiree, benefiting the Jazz Arts Group! This year’s event will take place Saturday, April 19 at the beautiful Scioto Country Club.

The fun kicks-off with a cocktail reception and Silent Auction at 6:30, followed by dinner at 7:30 and an evening of good food, good friends and great music! Starting at 8:30 p.m., you can dance to the sounds of the Columbus Jazz Orchestra, under the direction of Artistic Director Byron Stripling, and enjoy some of your favorite tunes.

"This is our one, major fundraiser for the Jazz Arts Group," remarked Bob Breithaupt, JAG Executive Director. "Support of this year’s Swingin’ Soirée will not only assist JAG in producing one of the most energetic performing schedules in central Ohio, it will also extend the reach of our many education and community service programs, such as Jazz for Kids, All that Jazz and the American Jazz Experience. It’s a great way for our friends to help us in our mission and have a great time, too!"
