GC Jazz Fest Returns to Front Campus

A Spring classic returns to Georgia College’s Front Campus.

On Saturday, April 30, the Georgia College Music Department hosts its annual Jazz Fest in downtown Milledgeville.

Each year, the Georgia College Jazz Band and Jazz Combo join jazz bands from high schools across the region for an afternoon of music in the outdoors under the towering tree canopy of the university’s Front Campus.

This year’s featured artist is trombonist Marshall Gilkes. In addition to rehearsing and performing with the Georgia College Jazz Band during Jazz Fest, Gilkes will join music students in Baldwin County Schools for a series of jazz clinics.

On this edition of Georgia College Connections, Georgia College Double Bass Instructor Chris Enghauser joins host Daniel McDonald to invite listeners to an afternoon of jazz in downtown Milledgeville.
