ROCHESTER, MN - The Rochester Symphony Orchestra & Chorale (RSOC) will turn the Mayo Civic Center into a hopping big band jazz club on March 28.

Music will include the classics of the 1920s, original works by Sorenson and Lazarus, and everything in between. Expect the hits of Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, Harold Arlen, George Gershwin and more.
CHARLES LAZARUS is known for his distinctive blend of lounge/exotica and funk fired jazz. The trumpeter/composer's eclectic career has been met with acclaim from critics worldwide. Lazarus made his main stage Carnegie Hall solo debut with the New York String Orchestra at the age of 19 while still a student at The Juilliard School in New York. He has been a member of the Dallas Brass, Meridian Arts Ensemble, Canadian Brass, and currently the Minnesota Orchestra. He has been on the trumpet faculties of Princeton University and St. Olaf College, and has performed and taught master classes in every US state, Canada, South America and throughout Europe and Asia.
