Michigan State University Jazz Orchestra Performance

About This Event

The MSU Jazz Orchestra, directed by Professor Rodney Whitaker, performs at the Detroit Jazz Festival.

What to Expect

• 1.Grab a spot along Hart Plaza before the MSU Jazz Orchestra starts, there are grassy slopes and some seating areas by the river so bring a blanket or a compact chair.
• 2.The Detroit Jazz Festival crowd is casual and friendly, so you can linger or move around without feeling on edge.
• 3.Food and drinks will be from festival vendors nearby, but lines can get long so consider grabbing something before the set or during a break.
• 4.Hart Plaza is downtown Detroit by the river, so plan transit or parking ahead of time as festival crowds can clog the area.
• 5.Check the festival schedule in advance so you know when the MSU Jazz Orchestra is performing and bring sunscreen and a hat for a sunny afternoon.
