THIS WEEK: TRUMPET SUPERSTAR CHRIS BOTTI

TRUMPET SUPERSTAR
RETURNS THIS WEEK — BEGINNING TONIGHT!

Chris Botti

TUE-SUN, JAN 4-9
MINER AUDITORIUM

The world’s top-selling jazz instrumentalist, GRAMMY-winning trumpeter Chris Botti has made his sumptuous clarion sound, fluent phrasing, and evocative sense of space into a distinct musical signature. A masterful musician equally at home in the realms of jazz and pop, the melodious trumpeter is as likely to play the second movement of Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez” as he is Al Green’s grooving “Let’s Stay Together.”
