Join us at the Columbus Metropolitan Library in the Reading Room for a free concert celebrating the close of our 50th Anniversary Season. We will feature some of our members alongside special guest vocalists Sydney McSweeney and Quan Howell. Your Columbus Jazz Orchestra, founded in 1972 by local educator and performer Ray Eubanks, has been a pillar of the performing arts community here in Columbus for 50 years. As a thank you for being a part of the Jazz Arts Group family and community, join us for this momentous evening and beyond as we present The Beat Goes On!
