The Whitney Center Jazz Orchestra presents  “¡CELEBRACIÓN LATINA!”

Sheridan College Director of Bands and Jazz Studies Dr. Eric Richards has a lifelong love affair with the music of Latin America. 

Sharing his passion with the Sheridan community and beyond, Richards has assembled his professional big band, The Whitney Center Jazz Orchestra, in concert to pay tribute to the rich and vital influence of the music of Latin American upon the jazz tradition. 

According to Richards, from Samba to Partido Alto to Bossa to Tango, this concert will offer a rich, colorful tapestry of music by the region’s finest jazz musicians.
