Community Concerts @ First presents:
Ray Vega Jazz QuARTet
Sunday July 10 at 7pm
First Congregational Church of Essex Junction
39 Main St. Essex Junction, VT

Come hear local jazz greats Ray Vega/Trumpet, Michael Hartigan/Piano, Jeremy Hill/Bass, and Geza Carr/Drums perform at First Congregational Church of Essex Junction. Concert proceeds support FCCEJ community outreach and Dismas House of Chittenden County.

Ray Vega has established himself as one of the innovators of the international Jazz and Latin music scenes. A multi-talented trumpeter, percussionist, composer, and arranger, he presents Jazz from a refreshingly original and contemporary perspective. You might also know him as host of VPR's Friday Night Jazz and UVM faculty member.

This performance is part of the Community Concerts at First music series celebrating artists from Vermont and New England.

$20 suggested donation (under 18 free). Reservations can be made in advance or donations accepted at the door.

Community Concerts at First is an opportunity to experience great music while supporting our community partners.

It began when Essex community leaders, including clergy, brainstormed how best to feed those in our neighborhoods who hunger for food, relationship, and connection. Essex Eats Out seeks to fulfil this need by providing healthy, free meals in a safe and inclusive atmosphere.

On Friday, May 6, come to FCCEJ for a homemade supper of chicken casserole, coleslaw, and cookies. Stop by the Fellowship Hall anytime between 4pm and 6pm for your FREE meal. Carry-out only—no dine in.
