Introducing: Adrian Barnett!

Adrian Barnett is a doctoral student in jazz performance at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He is an in demand artist and sought after clinician. He has done seminars in schools across Illinois including Chicago and Bloomington, as well as many appearances in his home state of Minnesota.

For our May 16th pops concert Adrian will be joining the Madelia Concert/Jazz bands on stage. Students will also get a chance to talk about jazz with the soon to be Dr. Barnett on Friday, May 13.

What better way to put on a pops concert than by having a professional musician join us for some fun tunes. When you see Adrian, be sure to congratulate him on winning a Downbeat award this year.
