MJI Holiday Big Band Concert

There’s something magical that happens when a full big band hits that first downbeat during the holidays. The room gets brighter. The air shifts. And for a couple of hours, you remember exactly why live music feels like home. On Thursday, December 18, the MJI Big Band is bringing that feeling back — twice — with a 2 p.m. matinee and a 7:30 p.m. evening performance at the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts. This year's ensemble is stacked with some of Milwaukee’s finest: Donna Woodall – vocals Jason Gillette – alto sax, Director Emmet Fettig – alto sax Sam Fettig – tenor sax Jason Goldsmith – tenor sax Mike Pauers – baritone sax Greg Garcia – trumpet Russ Johnson – trumpet Gabriel Wade – trumpet Miles Franklin Smith – trumpet Steve Wiest – trombone Darren Sterud – trombone Ken Wiele – trombone Kyle Samuelson – bass trombone Paul Silbergleit – guitar Mark Davis – piano Jeff Hamann – bass Dave Bayles – drums If you’ve been craving a little sparkle, a little swing, and a whole lot of musical joy, this is your moment. Gather your people, pick your showtime, and come celebrate with us. Tickets are on sale now. Don’t wait.
