JAMESTOWN, N.Y. — The SUNY Jamestown Community College Music Department will present two spring concerts in May, offering the public a pair of free evenings of live music at the Scharmann Theatre on the Jamestown Campus.
The 2026 Spring Concert kicks off the series on Tuesday, May 5, at 7 p.m. The program will feature the JCC Concert Choir, directed by Julie Costantini, and the Concert Band, under the direction of Chris Wakefield, performing a variety of selections in different styles.
The evening’s centerpiece will be the New York premiere of “Concerto No. 2 for Alto Saxophone and Concert Band,” composed by JCC Music Department Chair Neil Flory. The piece will be performed by the Concert Band alongside special guest saxophonist Andy Wen, who will be on campus for a three-day residency May 3-5.
“This concert represents the very best of what our students and faculty have been working toward all semester,” Flory said. “Having Andy Wen join us to premiere my new concerto makes this a truly special evening, and one I hope the community will come out to experience.”
On Thursday, May 7, at 7 p.m., the Music Department presents Spring Jam!, an energetic concert featuring JCC Rock Ensembles directed by Bill Eckstrom performing a wide range of styles.
Both concerts are free and open to the public and will be live-streamed on Zoom. Links are available on the JCC events calendar.
