Concerts are held in the sanctuary, and are well attended by members of our church and guests from the community. Attendees are invited to join us for a reception honoring the performers immediately after the concert in our fellowship hall. First Presbyterian Church is handicap accessible and all concerts are FREE.
Please join us for a reception downstairs after the concert!
The Ball State University Jazz Ensemble is a 16-member group of trombones, trumpets, saxophones, keyboard, guitar, and percussion. Their director, Mark Buselli, has been on the Indianapolis music scene for almost 30 years and has taken college bands on tours of Russia, China, Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Switzerland, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, NYC, and also has an upcoming trip to Chile. As a composer/arranger, Buselli has over fifty arrangements published for big bands, brass ensemble, and piano/trumpet and has performed with many notable artists, and for four United States presidents. The ensemble will present selections from the Great American Songbook with music from bands like Count Basie, Duke Ellington and some student originals. Mark your calendars and plan to welcome this group! With their incredibly busy schedules, we are lucky to get these talented college students to come to New Castle . What a wonderful opportunity to bring a friend or neighbor!
