By Quincy Thompson
Feel Good Fridays continues this week with an evening of powerful musicianship, timeless melodies, and big band energy as the New Millennium Jazz Orchestra takes the stage in Fountain Park on Friday, July 10 at 7:30 p.m.
Hailing from Fort Wayne, Indiana, the New Millennium Jazz Orchestra has built a reputation as one of the region's premier jazz ensembles. Comprised of talented musicians from throughout northeast Indiana and northwest Ohio, the orchestra delivers the rich sound and excitement of a traditional big band while incorporating contemporary arrangements and fresh interpretations that appeal to audiences of all ages.
"One of the things we love about Feel Good Fridays is the opportunity to bring a wide variety of musical experiences to Fountain Park," said Jarin Hart, Executive Director of Van Wert Live. "The New Millennium Jazz Orchestra delivers an incredible level of talent and musicianship. Whether you're a dedicated jazz fan or simply enjoy outstanding live performances, this is a concert that will leave a lasting impression."
The Feel Good Fridays series continues to showcase the power of live entertainment to bring communities together. Throughout the summer, audiences have enjoyed everything from family-friendly performances and tribute bands to country favorites and classic hits. This week's concert offers something different, a chance to experience the sophistication, energy, and excitement of a live jazz orchestra in the beautiful setting of Fountain Park.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early, bring lawn chairs or blankets, and enjoy an evening with friends and family in downtown Van Wert. As always, ALL Feel Good Fridays are powered by the Van Wert County Foundation, whose commitment to enhancing quality of life throughout the community helps make the Feel Good Fridays concert series possible.
