"New" Friday Night Concerts at Custer Observatory

STARDUST - A Tribute to the Great Jazz Composers


 On Friday, July 13, Custer Observatory began a new Friday Night Concert Series with the Robert Boutcher Concert: "STARDUST" - A Tribute to the Great Jazz Composers. STARDUST was a musical exploration of the great American Songbook and hosted by pianist, guitarist and singer Bob Boutcher.

It was an informative and highly entertaining concert performance which featured the works of Hoagy Carmichael, Michelle Legrand, Bill Evans, and many others from the great periods of Jazz. There was a special guest appearance by Harmonica Man, Norm Shupack, that made this a special night to remember. The new Music program coordinator, Thomas Mangano, even came up for a few numbers on his Clarinet! 

Look for new Friday Night Concerts to be scheduled in the upcoming months at Custer!
