From the college's press release:
After the Open House, guests will be treated to a special performance by members of the College’s Music Faculty at 4 p.m. in the Taylor Auditorium. Lucille Beer, mezzo-soprano; Matthew Billie, classical guitar; Mark Evans, piano; Karen Hosmer, oboe; Nachiko Maekane, percussion; and Brett Wery, clarinet, will perform a variety of pieces. The Empire Jazz Orchestra, professional jazz ensemble in residence at SCCC, directed by Dr. William Meckley, Professor and Dean of the School of Music, will then take the stage and perform music for big band.
