My family and I thoroughly enjoyed a concert last night by Valparaiso University’s Department of Music’s Faculty Jazz Trio—Jeffery Brown, Roger Harris, Scott Allen, Anne Maria Bice, and Darrel Tidaback. I really liked the sweet sound of the vibraphone, and the mash-up of “Norwegian Wood” and “Little B’s Poem.” I also enjoyed sketching in my Moleskine, inspired by the live music performance.

This past Wednesday night, my family and I enjoyed a performance by the Valparaiso University Jazz Ensemble. /// The group is composed of VU students and is led by Jeffrey C. Brown. Ann Marie Bice also contributed vocals. /// I really love listening to live music and doing a little drawing at the same time—drawn to music, once again. /// #valpomusic #drawntomusic #jazzensemble #valparaisouniversity #valparaisodepartmentofmusic #drawingmusicians #livesketching #scribing #tedpigottartscribing (at Valparaiso University Center for the Arts) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqPrc-oBTah/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=iaylwbdqmnw6

My family and I enjoyed the Chamber Ensemble in Residence Recital by Civitas this Sunday at Valparaiso University. /// The artists included Yuan-Qing Qiu on violin; Winston Choi on piano; J. Laurie Bloom on clarinet; and Kenneth Olsen on cello, with guest artist Jennifer Gunn on flute. /// Drawn to music, once again. /// #valpomusic #drawntomusic #moleskine #civitas #civitasensemble (at Duesenberg Recital Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bop2fk8HigY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dtonsoefku7c

My family enjoyed a concert last night by Clocks in Motion percussion quartet—Megan Arns, Matthew Coley, Christopher G. Jones, and Sean Kleve. We loved all the instruments the quartet brought with them and played, including vibraphones, xylophones, marimbas, a hammered dulcimer, drums, bongos, coffee cans, and seashells, among many others. My personal favorite was the opening performance of selections from “Threads” by Paul Lansky—beautiful, ethereal, and atmospheric. Another enjoyable concert at VU! #valpomusic #clocksinmotion #moleskine (at Duesenberg Recital Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8v9Drn_E_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11q4lq9n7amgk
