HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) – The USM School of Music is bringing four performances to Hattiesburg in the fall and spring through its annual Connoisseurs Series.
Jazz performer Bob Sheppard will play the first show on Sept. 16, starting at 7:30 p.m.
The concerts are free to the public, thanks to the Mr. And Mrs. James Simrall, Jr. Arts Endowment.
“Hattiesburg and The University of Southern Mississippi are destinations for arts and music events from all over the world,” said Dr. Colin McKenzie, Director of the USM School of Music. “There are people who have traveled from all over the world to perform here in Hattiesburg, largely because of the work done by our School of Music. I think we’re fortunate to be hosts to such events like this. I hope our community will take advantage of that.”
All performances for this year’s series will be held at the Marsh Auditorium on the Hattiesburg campus.
