Mark Flugge: Chamber Jazz Series

The Chamber Jazz Series is produced by Mark Flugge and features fabulous area musicians in a variety of acoustic jazz concert settings. Each performance focuses on a specific composer, artist, style, or recording and is expressed in an entertaining but sophisticated manner. Upcoming concerts highlight the music of Chet Baker, Billy Strayhorn, Ray Brown, Horace Silver, and much more. You can find details for each show on the calendar page of this website. Please join us in our new home this Fall, the Columbus Museum of Art.
