American music concert at Sylvester Manor will celebrate diverse traditions
A celebration of American musical diversity will welcome visitors to Sylvester Manor on Sunday, July 31 at 5 p.m.
Together with the Rites of Spring Festival and The Jazz Loft in Stony Brook, the Manor will offer a wide array of musical styles including a jazz classic by Duke Ellington, European music influenced by American culture and Indigenous music traditions.
This concert, “Across American Roots,” will feature three performances:
• 5 — 5:30 p.m. Shinnecock Indian Nation performers
• 5:45 — 6:30 p.m. Rites of Spring Wind Quintet
• 7 — 8:30 p.m. Jazz Loft Big Band, a 17-piece band, led by trumpeter Tom Manuel
“We are thrilled to be hosting an event that represents the intersection of three important American cultures and music traditions: Native American, European and African American,” said Manor Executive Director Stephen Searl. “The concert and its world class musicians — including the Shinnecock Indian Nation, Rites of Spring and The Jazz Loft — reflect the kind of complex, rich and inclusive history we honor and celebrate here at Sylvester Manor.”
