We’ve been trying to present the Iowa Women’s Jazz Orchestra since 2020, and fingers crossed, the third time will be the charm on Aug. 18.
After years of being the only, or one of very few women in college and professional jazz bands, IWJO Directors Toni LeFebvre and Kelli Swehla formed this group to provide playing opportunities for their friends and positive role models for young musicians of all genders.
Opening will be Young Artists The 5K Quintet, a group comprised of UI students. Aroma Pizza will be back to make sure you don’t grow hungry, along with The Hungry Rooster, Dairy Queen, and Great Harvest Bread.
6:30pm Thursday, Aug. 18 in Noelridge Park. More information at www.kcck.org.
