Jazz Saxophonist Kris Allen to Perform Nov. 15
The Kris Allen Quartet will give a performance at Westminster School Nov. 15 as a part of the school’s “Friday Nights in Gund,” a series of readings, lectures and concerts held at Westminster during the academic year.
Jazz saxophonist Kris Allen has performed and recorded with living legends such as Gerald Wilson, Illinois Jacquet and Mario Pavone, as well as with modern stars like Winard Harper, Andy Laverne and Helen Sung. He co-led several unique and exciting groups with master percussionist Rogerio Boccato and was named artistic director of the Hartford Jazz Society’s New Directions Ensemble. Besides leading his own quartet, Allen presently serves as the Lyell B. Clay Artist in Residence in Jazz at Williams College. He has also been a teaching artist for the Litchfield Jazz Festival since 2001.
Allen’s Westminster performance is free and open to the public and will begin at 7 p.m. in the Gund Reading Room of Armour Academic Center. Refreshments will be served after the presentation and ample parking will be available in the parking lot adjacent to Armour Academic Center.
