On June 7, the Forest Theater hosted an event that brought joy to both the young musicians of the Santa Rosa Symphony Youth Jazz Ensemble and their audience. Under the cool shade of the trees in the late afternoon, 75 attendees gathered to enjoy a happy, jazzy hour of music.
This performance not only showcased the budding talent within the youth ensemble but also highlighted the importance of providing young artists with public performance opportunities. These experiences are crucial for their pursuit of artistic excellence and for connecting the local community with the invaluable work of the Santa Rosa Symphony to attract new subscribers and sponsors, further supporting the arts in Santa Rosa.
The event underscored the role of the Forest Theater as a vital cultural venue and Sylvan Sounds as a significant musical program. It also emphasized the park’s growing reputation as a host of diverse cultural events.
As the evening came to a close, it was clear that the synergy between the youth ensemble, the Forest Theater, and the community had created a memorable experience for all.
