On April 12, at 7 p.m., the School of Music at Cairn University, 200 Manor Ave. in Langhorne, is presenting “An Evening of Jazz and Gospel Music.” The concert is organized by New York saxophonist Daniel Bennett. Cairn recently enlisted him to lead the growing jazz program at the school. He travels from Manhattan to Langhorne every week.
“It’s an absolute honor to work with these students. Big things are happening at Cairn,” said Bennett.
Bennett directs the Cairn jazz ensembles and teaches jazz theory, jazz history and composition lessons. Cairn, which has built a global reputation as a leader in classical music instruction, recently expanded to include jazz education.
The concert will also feature the Cairn Gospel Choir, under the direction of Deion Payton. Call 215-702-4329 for more information.
