(Feb. 20, 2017) – Carson-Newman University’s Delta Omicron International Music Fraternity will host a benefit concert Tuesday, Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Thomas Recital Hall of the Tarr Music Center on campus.

The concert will feature pianist Joseph North along with Carl and Alan Mcguire. The trio will perform jazz arrangements and North will perform his arrangements of hymns.

At the age of 17, famed jazz pianist Donald Brown discovered them and they began studying under Brown at the University of Tennessee.

Proceeds from the concert will go toward the scholarship fund of the Alpha Gamma Chapter of Delta Omicron International Music Fraternity.

Tickets will be available at the door. Adults – $5 and Students – $2.
