New Year's Eve Jazz Concert
Monday, December 31, 2012; doors open at 6:30PM
Join us at the incredible JW Marriott Starr Pass Resort and Spa for our annual New Year’s Eve Gala! This year Rick Braun is bringing Richard Elliot and Pete White for an awesome night of music – all three headliners have or will have new CDs out, so it is extra special. And the Tucson Jazz Institute’s award winning Ellington Band will start the evening to get the party started. The young people in that program are all amazing.
A huge addition this year will be the donation of the proceeds from our silent auction to the Tucson Alliance for Autism, the National Autism Society, and the newly created Tucson Jazz Society’s Youth Music Education Program – so you can bet there will incredible items in the auction this year to entice you!
A five-course gourmet meal, a fantastic silent auction, a champagne toast and balloon drop at midnight, and the best jazz in the country all night long will be here in Tucson on New Year’s Eve. Come join us!
