“Bird Watching will open the concert with a few tunes, followed by Elkhorn North’s vocal jazz ensemble, directed by UNL Jazz Singers alum Casey Allen,” von Kampen said. “They’ve collaborated with us before, and we’re excited to welcome them back.”

Jazz Singers will close the concert, reprising music from their concerts with the Oakwood University Aeolians on Nov. 3 and Lincoln’s Symphony Orchestra on Dec. 8 in the smaller setting, as well as a Kerry Marsh arrangement of saxophonist Kenny Garrett’s composition “Sing a Song of Song.”
