The Brighton Beat
Saturday, October 8, 7pm Doors open at 6:30pm Tickets are $25/$15 (Center/Side) Students 18 and under are free! 
A unique and engaging spectacle for all ages.
Showcasing Jazz/World Music to students of all ages is the best way to create a new generation of artists and performers. The Brighton Beat is made up of scholastically trained musicians who have spent their entire life honing their craft and furthering their understanding and love of music. Now that the band has the opportunity to perform the music they have created and love, they also consistently give back to the communities that helped foster the talents and interest that made them who they are today. In the Fall of 2017, with the help and direction of The Clayton Jazz Festival, the band launched a new brand of clinics, and in-school performances centered around engaging with students of all ages and showing them what modern Jazz and World Music is and can be. Giving them the tools to appreciate, understand and create it for themselves. "Jazz in the Classroom" as it was dubbed, brings a multifaceted presentation to schools and institutions that both have strong music programs, or none at all. Part performance, part history lesson, part hands on experience make this an extremely unique event. The reward of being able to share the bands passion of improvisation and fusion of many musical influences is very evident in the energetic, fun and informative performances they tailor for each individual occasion. Many of the band members are full time faculty of some of the most respected music education facilities in the Northeast (Berklee College of Music, New England Conservatory, NYU) and teach at all grade and skill levels. This makes for a potent pairing of real-world performance experience, and time-tested education acumen. As they continue to grow and spread the music of The Brighton Beat, they wish to grow and spread the next generation of artists that speak and enjoy the language of music as well. Each band member has had the benefit of being introduced to the world of Jazz and improvisation at a young age, and can easily recount the experiences they had of great inspiration, and encouragement. They now wish to pass the torch and give back for all they have received from a fulfilling life of music. |
Clayton Community Band
Tuesday, October 11, 7pm Doors open at 6:30pm Tickets are $8 & $6 (Balcony Center & everywhere else) 
The Clayton Community Band is conducted by Richard Badour. Selections will include music from many different styles and time periods that are sure to please audience members of all ages. The band will have some special features celebrating our town's sesquicentennial. The next and final performances of 2022 is the holiday concert on November 29th.
Our band is made up of members that come from all over the North Country. Although many live in Clayton, Watertown or surrounding communities in Jefferson County, some of our musicians travel from St. Lawrence and Lewis Counties. We have a few members from even farther away who spend summers in the Clayton area and we welcome them back to play with us each summer season. We also come from many different walks of life. Some of our performers are life-long musicians either as performers or educators in local schools, some are professionals in other areas, and some have retired from their careers and are just looking for a fun and relaxing way to get involved in the community. Despite our differences we all come together each week to rehearse the music that we love sharing with our dedicated audiences. All members are listed in the programs for each of our concerts. The philosophy of the Clayton Community Band is to afford any dedicated individual, who previously or currently plays a band instrument, an outlet to perform in rehearsal and public performance. Preparation and presentation of concert band music is geared toward continuous education and enjoyment by the performers, while entertaining and educating the residents and guests of Clayton and surrounding communities through diversified programs of band literature. Working as a team to interpret and convey to an audience any select or particular selection of band music develops a serene sense of camaraderie. Great friendships are born through music, whether by working together as a team or by enjoying a live performance of musicians of various ages with diversified backgrounds performing for the love of music. For the performers and audience, we feel that music heals the heart and soothes the soul. |
