Come hear your State Reserve Band bring to life the fascinating and forgotten tale of Jim Europe! Attendance is free and open to the public.

A leading African-American musician and soldier, Europe's enormous talents helped shape the transition from ragtime to jazz and consequently broke down color barriers. All of the music performed are historically accurate compositions and scores as played by Jim Europe’s ensembles, using instruments common to the period to accurately reproduce the music as it sounded 100 years ago.

Cost: Free
