This performance is presented by Purdue Convocations with support from Purdue Bands & Orchestras.
Hailing from America, Canada, Israel, Chile and Japan, the sextet group Artemis features Renee Rosnes (piano/musical director), Ingrid Jensen (trumpet), Anat Cohen (clarinet), Noriko Ueda (bass), Allison Miller (drums) and Melissa Aldana (tenor saxophonist). Aldana performed to sold-out shows in Carnahan Hall at Purdue University in 2014.
Regularly leading their own bands, the artists of Artemis perform selections spanning Thelonious Monk to the Beatles — presented with passion, power and sensitivity. This performance represents Convocations’ kickoff contribution to the 30th annual Purdue Jazz Festival, a Purdue University Bands & Orchestra event bringing more than 2,500 middle- and high-school students to campus for clinics and concerts.
Tickets are $30 for adults and $24 for children 18 years and younger, Purdue students and Ivy Tech Lafayette students.
