In celebration of the partnership between MCG Jazz and City Theatre, we invite you to attend a performance by pianist and composer Theron Brown. Originally from Zanesville, Ohio, Theron Brown currently resides in Akron, Ohio, where he is the program coordinator for Curated Storefront and the Artist Residency Program at Lebron James’ I Promise School. Theron is also heavily involved in the music community as the founder and artistic director of the Rubber City Jazz & Blues Festival, which takes place annually in Akron, Ohio’s downtown historic district. Theron performs and tours regularly with his trio that includes Zaire Darden on drums and Jordan McBride on bass. Theron received an amazing opportunity as he auditioned for and was cast as young Herbie Hancock in the 2016 film, Miles Ahead, directed by and starring Don Cheadle.

The performance is free. Reservations are required.
