The Classical Jazz Blow Out, a fusion of classical music and jazz, will be presented as part of the 25th Hot Springs JazzFest at 7 p.m. Sept. 2 in the Five Star Theatre, 701 Central Ave.
The ASO Brass Quintet and the Anything That Moves jazz combo will come together for the nightclub-style event.
The program "allows a rare opportunity" to experience the ASO Brass Quintet performing classical music in an intimate venue, followed by a jazz performance by Anything That Moves with special guest Earl Hesse on clarinet and saxophone and vocalists Don Gooch and Diane Kesling, a news release said.
The highlight of the evening will be a "Blow Out" of classical and jazz by the Brass Quintet and ATM. A favorite of Dorothy Morris of the Morris Foundation, the program's sponsor, the concert "is guaranteed to leave its audience in awe," the release said.
