ACC Jazz Ensemble to Perform at Presidential Inauguration Ball

The Jazz Ensemble also performed at a 2009 inaugural event.

Austin Community College’s Jazz Ensemble is set to perform at the Texas State Society’s Black Tie and Boots Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C. The two-day event takes place Jan. 18 and 19, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center.

“We’ve had the great honor of performing at a past presidential inauguration ball, and it’s an experience our musicians will always remember,” says Dr. Tom Husak, artistic director of the Jazz Ensemble. “We are looking forward to once again giving Washington a taste of Texas.”

In keeping with the event theme, the Jazz Ensemble will perform a country-western show, featuring Grammy-winning guitarist/vocalist Redd Volkaert. This is the group’s second performance at a presidential inauguration gala; the Jazz Ensemble also played at an event in January 2009.
