KNOXVILLE — Helping the School of Music at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, never sounded so good.<\/p>\n
The school is hosting a spring fundraiser, “Classical Meets Jazz,” at 6 p.m. Saturday, April 10, at Fox Den Country Club. Guests will be treated to an evening of music, fine dining, dancing and an auction, all while benefiting scholarships for music students.<\/p>\n
A cocktail reception — with complimentary wine and a cash bar — and silent auction will start the evening, followed by a gourmet dinner and a live auction.<\/p>\n
The highlight will be an unprecedented performance by the entire School of Music jazz faculty, including three-time Grammy Award nominee Donald Brown, the internationally renowned jazz pianist, composer and educator.<\/p>\n
The program also will feature music from opera theatre students, a student string quartet and student pianist William Crowe, recipient of the prestigious Kline Scholarship, awarded to a truly outstanding freshman artist\/scholar.<\/p>\n
After dinner and entertainment, the dance floor will open to the sound of the Boling, Brown & Holloway Trio, featuring faculty members Mark Boling, Keith Brown and Rusty Holloway.<\/p>\n
