The Jerome Mirza Jazz Residency, hosted by the Knox College Jazz studies program, is coming up next Friday, November 5.
The residency this year will feature Allison Miller and her band Boom Tic Boom.
The group will perform at Galesburg’s Orpheum Theater at 7 p.m. next Friday in a concert that’s free and open to the public.
Knox music students will be working with Miller in a series of activities and jazz-centered workshops.
Miller is a New York City-based drummer, composer, and teacher who has been a three-time Jazz Ambassador for the U.S. State Department, been an artist in residence for the Monterey Jazz Festival and been awarded several times over by music critics and publications.
Her band, Boom Tic Boom, celebrated their 10th anniversary by releasing their fifth album, Glitter Wolf, which has been received with acclaim.
Guests attending the concert must be masked and provide either a paper or digital vaccination card, a Knox ID, a recurring visitor lanyard or proof of a negative COVID test in the last 72 hours.
For those attending with unvaccinated children, a separate family section will be available.
