Marietta, Ohio (04/10/2018) — Marietta College's Jazz Combo and Floodstage will team up for a spring Jazz and A Capella concert - Can't Stop that Feeling! - at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, April 19th.

The performance, which is free and open to the public, will be held at the Alma McDonough Auditorium.

"This concert is a collaboration between the two ensembles," said Dr. Jay Dougherty, Director of Choral Activities. "We're excited to share the stage with the jazz combo once again. I think the music works well together. In fact, for the third concert in a row, the two ensembles will also close the concert with a combined number."

The jazz combo is directed by Jordan Reed and Floodstage is directed by Dougherty.

"Jordan is a master of jazz. His energy, passion, and musicianship are evident when you see and hear the jazz combo perform," Dougherty said. "Floodstage is Marietta College's contemporary a cappella ensemble. We sing familiar modern music, all unaccompanied."

Floodstage will conduct a tour around Ohio for a few weeks in May. "We're excited to share the music of Marietta College with potential high school students around the state," Dougherty said.

Located in Marietta, Ohio, at the confluence of the Muskingum and Ohio rivers, Marietta College is a four-year liberal arts college. Tracing its roots to the Muskingum Academy back in 1797, the College was officially chartered in 1835. Today Marietta College serves a body of 1,200 full-time students.
