Michael Korn on violin and Craig Hultgren on cello, both members of the Alabama Symphony Orchestra, are joined by Lester Seigell on piano, who is currently on the faculty at Birmingham Southern College, in a program of works by this classic instrumental grouping. They will perform the first piano trio by Beethoven, Trio in E flat, Opus 1, No. 1 as well as the Trio in E flat by Franz Schubert. In addition they will also perform "Addendum" by Chick Corea.
  
  
• On Saturday, 5 March at 7:30 p.m., JSU Jazz I will perform in the auditorium of the Theron Montgomery Building. JSU Jazz I recently returned from an appearance at the Notre Dame Jazz Festival, the nation's oldest and most prestigious collegiate jazz festival.

This year JSU Jazz I was one of the featured groups.
  
  Renowned trumpet player Terrell Stafford will appear with this award-winning ensemble on Saturday evening as guest artist. Well-known as an international performer, recording artist, and educator, Stafford has performed and recorded with Bobby Watson, Victor Lewis, McCoy Tyner, Steve Turre, Cedar Walton, The Clayton Brothers, The Mingus Big Band, and the Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. He is a member of the Carnegie Hall Jazz Band and is a mentor for Jazz at Lincoln Center.
