Jazz at the Lake

The 13th annual Jazz at the Lake concert, set for Saturday, Feb. 3, 7:30 p.m., will feature Victor Provost on steel pan at the Jim Rouse Theatre, 5460 Trumpeter Road, Columbia, Md. The New York Times called Provost “a serious jazz improviser,” and Wynton Marsalis said his playing was “soulful and individualistic.” The Washington D.C. City Paper’s “Jazz Percussionist of the Year” six years running, his new recording Bright Eyes debuted at #5 on the iTunes Top 40 Jazz Charts and has been met with praise from The Washington Post, Downbeat Magazine, and Hot House Magazine, as well as artists and presenters.

Provost will play with Alex Brown on piano, Zach Brown on bass (the Brown brothers are both Wilde Lake alumni) and Eric Doob on drums. The
award-winning Wilde Lake High School Jazz Ensemble will open the show, and perform one piece with the guest artists.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students. (Golden Opportunities passes are not valid for this special concert.) For more information, contact [email protected] or 410-997-2070.
