Kuumbwa Jazz Honors Band Free Concert
May 13, 2025 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
The William H. Nadeau Memorial Fund, aimed at promoting and rewarding excellence in jazz performance, brings the Kuumbwa Jazz Honor Band to The Landing for a free concert.
The Kuumbwa Jazz Honor Band showcases some of the most talented student musicians from Santa Cruz County and the Central Coast region who come together to study advanced jazz theory, arranging, and improvisation, all while learning valuable life skills in teamwork and critical thinking.
The Honor Band, directed by David McGillicuddy, a graduate of Aptos High, Cabrillo College, and UCSC, has been teaching music since 1997 and his jazz guitar YouTube lessons have garnered nearly a quarter-million views. A longtime member of the Kuumbwa community, he attended his first Kuumbwa show in 1985 and has been volunteering since 1988.
