UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – WPSU Penn State’s free summer concert series -- Jazz at the Palmer -- returns for its fourth year with the first of four performances at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, July 23 at Penn State’s Palmer Museum of Art on the University Park campus.
The kick-off concert, offered in partnership with JazzPA, will feature jazz vocalist Teri Roiger, who has performed throughout North America and Europe. Also a pianist and composer, Roiger has been a member of the SUNY New Paltz jazz program for more than a decade. During that time she has taught jazz voice, the history of jazz and vocal jazz ensembles.
In addition to the July concert, WPSU Penn State will host performances at Palmer Museum on Aug. 27, Sept. 24 and Oct. 29. Dan Yoder, Penn State director of jazz studies and an accomplished saxophone soloist, will perform in August, while a Penn State student ensemble is slated for October’s final performance of the summer.
Ticket reservations for each concert are required and will be accepted the first of the month for its corresponding concert. Tickets are free and are limited to four per mailing address. WPSU Penn State’s Jazz at the Palmer is supported by Tire Town Auto Service Center, Fred and Judy Sears, the Friends of Palmer Museum of Art and JazzPA.
