 Jazz Reach- Stolen Moments:The First One Hundred Years of Jazz
    Wednesday January 14th 2009 at 9:30 AM (Sold Out!) and 1:00 PM
    Grades 6-12

Targeting students grades 6-12, Stolen Moments is a thoroughly engaging, 70 minute multi-media program that introduces audiences to jazz music's rich history and to the names, faces and music of some of its many masters.

On a broader level, Stolen Moments also highlights the interplay between the jazz movement and the evolution of American culture throughout the Twentieth Century, emphasizing the ways in which jazz has acted as a unifying force, bridging cultural, ethnic and economic differences; stimulated cultural fusions and new stylistic idioms; exemplified democratic ideals; and influenced other genres of music, both in the U.S. and abroad.
