Michael Jazz Trio to perform at Brookhaven Lab December 12
November 14, 2008
UPTON, NY — Three young, local musicians will give a concert at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory on Friday, December 12, at 7:00 p.m. at the Brookhaven Center. Sponsored by the BNL Music Club, the concert is open to the public. All visitors to the Laboratory age 16 and over must bring a photo ID.
The trio, all of whom hold a middle name of Michael, consists of 14-year-old Matthew on keyboard, 12-year-old David on alto and tenor sax, and 8-year-old Jordan on drums. The three were born and raised in Central Islip, New York. According to their parents, they were musically inclined at a young age and started sharing their musical talent by performing in front of local stores. They were soon contacted by talent scouts and have played at various venues, including an annual fundraiser for the City of New York Corrections Department. In August 2007, the trio performed at the Long Island Breast Cancer Cabaret Showcase where they received a standing ovation.
Inspired by music legends like the late John Coltrane and Duke Ellington, the boys continue to fine-tune their talent while maintaining academic excellence. In 2008 they performed over 50 times and released their first CD.
Tickets cost $10 and may be purchased through http://www.ticketmaster.com, http://www.ticketweb.com, or at the door. Advance ticket purchase is strongly recommended. For more information call 631 344-5139.
