Nyerges, RPO and MCC students perform in Rochester

Associate Professor John Nyerges played in two RPO concerts recently. On January 24-25 he was featured on piano with Garth Fagan Dance and on February 14-15 was a featured soloist again with the RPO and accompanied nationally known jazz vocalists Denzal Sinclaire and Dee Daniels. Nyerges provided two MCC music majors with tickets to see the show on the 15th. They were trumpeter Gage DeFazio and percussionist Sara Whalen. They came up afterwards to the stage and remarked how they were inspired by the show, seeing possibilities for their future.
On Friday March 20 Nyerges will have select music majors perform a warm-up set for a All-Star Quartet lead by Nyerges & Bill Tiberio, which includes former MCC Music Professor Geoff Smith (now at FLCC) and Phil Lake at the prestigious "Concerts On The Park" (formerly known as Jazz @ Immanuels) at the Immanuel Baptist Church, 815 Park Ave. (near Culver) starting at 7:00 PM. Nyerges also plans to take selected students to perform at the Rochester International Jazz Festival in June as he has done for many years.
