TIFTON—A compelling musical experience will be enjoyed by all in attendance on April 22 when Derek Brown performs with the ABAC Jazz Ensemble at the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Bainbridge campus.
Brown, a Billboard-charting saxophonist, is a musical innovator who will keep the crowd engaged in the 6 p.m. concert at the Kirbo Center. The event is the final production for the 2021-22 season of the Carter Arts and Lecture Series.
Brown is a one of a kind soloist and his project, “BEATBoX SAX” has exploded across the music scene. He uses a combination of slap-tonguing, circular breathing, and musical coordination to bring his unique sound to life.
Brown will be accompanied by the ABAC Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Deborah Bradley. ABAC music students are sure to challenge their own jazz techniques while accompanying Brown.
The Thomas M. Kirbo and Irene B. Kirbo Foundation is the Season Sponsor for the series. First Port City Bank is the Event Sponsor, and Miles Realty Company is the Preferred Sponsor.
All ABAC students will be admitted free. Adult tickets are $10 each, and kindergarten through 12th grade student tickets are $5 each. Tickets can be purchased at arts.abac.edu. or by calling the ABAC Ticket Line at (229) 243-6980. Tickets will also be available at the door prior to the performance.
Now completing its eighth season, the Carter Arts and Lecture Series is committed to enhancing the educational experience by bringing compelling speakers, distinguished authors, and performing artists to ABAC Bainbridge. These events are designed to bring the students and the community together to educate, inspire, and spark imagination.
