Doors Open at 5:30 PM — or join us even earlier in the Gallery/Bistro (Enter off Sgt Pendleton Way) for a special Christmas/ Holiday Dinner
It's a Holiday Early Evening show for families and students of all ages to hear the great Tchaikovsky "Nutcracker Suite" as transformed in 1960 by Duke Ellington & Billy Strayhorn into an American Big Band jazz masterpiece. It's performed by one of the best college jazz bands in the country: the Central Washington University Jazz Band under the direction of the new CWU Professor of Jazz Studies, Keith Karns.
