The Santa Monica College Music Department will present an evening of vocal jazz featuring two of its collegiate ensembles, Golden Hour and Seaside Swing. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 19 at The Eli & Edythe Broad Stage at the SMC Performing Arts Center, 1310 11th St. (at Santa Monica Boulevard).
More than 60 vocalists will perform under the direction of SMC music instructor Marisa Bradfield. The program spans jazz styles from traditional swing standards to contemporary arrangements. The evening will include full ensemble numbers and individual soloists. Sang Hee Cho will accompany on piano, Nate Laguzza on drums and Nate Light on bass.
The concert will also preview Golden Hour’s set for the Jazz Educators Network National Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, in January 2027.
“Golden Hour was selected to perform in a featured showcase to represent SMC at the conference! You won’t want to miss it!” Bradfield said.
