RE: TFC Jazz Band Performs at the Historic Ritz Theatre on April 16

Toccoa, GA – April 12, 20201– The Toccoa Falls College Jazz Band and Toccoa Jazz are bringing their much-anticipated yearly collaboration, Jazz at the Ritz, back to the Historic Ritz Theatre for a free concert on Friday, April 16^th at 7:00pm.

The 2020, Jazz at the Ritz performance unexpectedly ended up being our last show of the 2019-2020 Night at the Ritz series due to the on-set of the Covid-19 pandemic. While CDC guidelines and limited seating are still in place at the theatre, we are excited to host this wonderful night of jazz once again.

The TFC Jazz Band is directed by Yuri Henriques and Toccoa Jazz, a subset of the Toccoa Symphony Orchestra is directed by David Stufft.  Be ready for a night of great music and a memorable ending when the groups combine to present parodies of two classics re-written to reflect our year-long pandemic struggle.

Jazz at the Ritz is part of our regular Night at the Ritz concert series at the Historic Ritz Theatre. It is funded in part by generous grants received from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Georgia Council for the Arts. Admission is free for this Night at the Ritz performance. The public is invited and no ticket is required, but seating is limited to the first 150 patrons.

For more information on Night at the Ritz, please contact Ritz Theatre General Manager Tami Mayhugh at 706.244.0039 or at tmayhugh@cityoftoccoa.com.
