SUMMARY:Monmouth University Music & Arts Festival 2021
DESCRIPTION:Entering its 2nd year on the virtual stage\, this year’s Monmouth University Music & Arts Festival will feature members of the Garden State Philharmonic performing music from Civil War era Marches through Ragtime\, Dixieland\, and Jazz featuring music by composers George Gershwin\, Scott Joplin\, C.W. Handy\, Duke Ellington\, and Louis Armstrong. The festival will also highlight selections and solos from The Monmouth University Chamber Choir\, a performance by the Blue Hawk House Band and a special reading by former United States Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winner Natasha Tretheway. The festival will premiere at 7:00 PM on July 1st and be available to view through July 31st. To receive the streaming link for the festival you will need to register. \nThe Monmouth University Music & Arts Festival is designed to provide Monmouth County communities and beyond\, along with the students\, faculty\, and staff at Monmouth University\, with the opportunity to enjoy a top-flight music and arts event each summer. \nIn 2022\, we are looking forward to presenting a robust program of offerings as the festival will host its inaugural in-person event. Our university is the year-round home for working musicians and artists\, not to mention scores of students honing their talents as instrumental and theatrical performers\, visual artists\, and arts administrators. With the Music and Arts Festival becoming a yearly tradition\, we hope to attract nationally and internationally acclaimed musicians and other fine artists to our campus. Not only will they supplement our students’ arts education\, they will be on site each summer to provide visitors with opportunities to experience premiere concerts and exhibitions right here on the Shore. \nPROGRAM: \nThe Garden State Philharmonic – Brass Quintet and Percussion\nSTRIKE UP THE BAND!\n \nStrike up the Band  – George Gershwin\, arr.
