The seventh annual
Founder‘s Day Concert in the Park once again brought music
back to the site of the original Ithaca College music quad. Held
September 20 at DeWitt Park, the concert featured a big band
retrospective performed by the Ithaca College Jazz Workshop,
the Tuesday-Thursday Jazz Lab, and vocalist Lauri Keegan ’89.
Directed by Ithaca College School of Music faculty member Steve
Brown ’64, the program included works by Cole Porter, Bennie
Moten, Bart Howard, and others.
The Founder’s
Day Concert in the Park was first staged in 1992 to mark the
centennial of the College’s founding as the Ithaca Conservatory
of Music, hearkening back to the time when downtown concerts
were staged on a regular basis.
