To make sure our students get the best education possible and graduate with the proper skills, we need to upgrade our facility and replace our current analog equipment and technical practices with up-to-date, digital industry standards. A new digital console will better prepare our students, give KBEM a cleaner audio signal, facilitate networking with other devices and create a more efficient workflow. Your contribution in any amount will help! Donate now HERE!

Jazz88 presents a new project that explores the roots of American Music that intertwines both Jazz and Native American music styles at Hamline University's Sundin Music Hall at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 8.

A Weaving of Traditions, an evening of Native American music and interpretation, is created by Minnesota musician and jazz flutist Bobb Fantauzzo and his group JazZen. Accompanying the group will be Lyz Jaakola, who provides traditional Anishinaabe vocals and percussion. It is an eclectic mix of the traditional and the untraditional, the conventional and the unconventional, the past and the present.

Tickets are $10    Reserve Here
