Bop Shop Records, Bop Arts, Inc., and the Institute for Creative Music (IfCM) present a day-long music festival and symposium on Saturday, April 4th. This benefit event celebrates the Institute for Creative Music’s mission of promoting improvisation in music education through performances, a participatory workshop, and a panel discussion.
Featured ensembles will showcase prominent local and regional professionals playing original and improvised music. Student groups of up-and-coming jazz talents from the Rochester area will also play at the event. Featured performances include:

Doug Stone and Friends playing original music by saxophonist Doug Stone
Nick Finzer’s Ten Year Suite, a new work by trombonist and composer Nick Finzer commissioned by the IfCM
The Bill Tiberio Band, with selections that straddle the divide between straight-ahead and pop-oriented jazz
IfCM Collective, a showcase sextet of Teaching Artists from the Institute for Creative Music
The piano and drums duo of Laura Dubin and Antonio Guerrero
Aaron Staebell
Student ensembles from the Rochester School of the Arts, directed by Doug Stone; Fairport High School, directed by Bill Tiberio; and the Harley School, directed by Mike Kaupa

Bop Arts, Inc. will facilitate a panel discussion including Tom Kohn from Bop Shop Records and special guests Angie Sanchez and Omar Tamez, giving insight into creating and performing jazz in the 21st century.

JAZZ is UGLY...JAZZ is BEAUTIFUL will also provide an opportunity to sample an improvisation workshop like those that the Institute for Creative Music provides for students around the Rochester area and beyond through drop-in workshops and multi-day residencies.

A minimum donation of $10 is requested, with all proceeds going directly to the Institute for Creative Music in order to provide school and community groups with opportunities to participate in creative music-making.
