Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of jazz with the talented Ernie Wang on saxophone, showcasing his exceptional skills and unique arrangements. This student recital, part of his Bachelor of Music program under the guidance of Robert Dixon, promises a diverse repertoire that includes original compositions by Ernie Wang such as "Mist at the Treeline" and "Internet Browsation," alongside innovative arrangements of works by John Cornelius Hodges, Paul Mitchell, Andy Iona, and more. The performance will also feature a special "Chinese Song Suite," arranged by Wang, adding a unique cultural dimension to the event.

Ernie will be accompanied by a talented ensemble of musicians, including Eli Sullivan on saxophone and flute, Sean Deegan on saxophone and flute, Jason Zhu on saxophone, Austin Aldrich on bass, Darsan Swaroop Bellie on drums, and Dylan McGaharn on piano.
