Duke Ellington
Religious Suites

October 24, 2010, 3:00pm

"The most important thing I have ever done."

So said jazz great Duke Ellington of the three sacred concerts he wrote in the last decade of his life. The Lorain County Community College Civic Jazz Band, under the direction of First Lutheran member Jeff Meyers, joins with First Lutheran's choirs to present excerpts of this groundbreaking—and swinging!—music. Free admission.
