Music lovers enjoyed a buffet and an evening of multi-generational music at Monterey Jan. 27.
The annual We Jam! An Evening of Music event featured the Monterey Concert Band and the U-JAM Young All Stars, combining performances by teens and musicians over 50 years. The U-JAM Young All Stars program, offers young musicians the opportunity to expand their knowledge of jazz and participate in small ensembles.
Partial proceeds benefited the artsREACH Society, a Victoria-based charity which aims to ensure all children have the opportunity to develop life skills by exploring their potential through arts experiences.
