Bill Tiberio Group coming to Newark

The 'Winter Jazz' concert at Newark High School will take place Saturday, Jan. 19 at 8 p.m.

This year's guest artist will be 'The Bill Tiberio Group,' which was a hit at the 2007 Winter Jazz. Also performing are the Newark High School Vocal Jazz, directed by Jean Bendix, and Instrumental Jazz Ensemble, directed by Dave Schwind.

In addition to being a versatile saxophonist and woodwind player, Tiberio has taught music at Fairport High School for 17 years. There, he conducts the Concert Band, two jazz ensembles, jazz combos, pit orchestras, chamber ensembles, and teaches woodwinds throughout the district. He is the former president of the New York State Chapter of the International Association of Jazz Educators, and is on the summer jazz faculty for the Eastman Community Music School high school program and the founder and director of the Hochstein School of Music summer jazz camp.

He is active in the Rochester music scene as a jazz saxophonist and woodwind player. He has performed with Fred Wesley, The Four Tops, the Temptations, Nestor Torres, Lou Gramm, and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, and has shared the stage with Chuck Loeb, the Yellowjackets, Eileen Ivers, Jesse Cook, and Euge Groove. He is a founding member of the original contemporary soul group, 'The Bill Welch Band,' and is the saxophonist in the Spiritus Christi Gospel Choir. Tiberio has been honored with notable recognition of his teaching.

Tickets for the concert are $5 and are only available at the door. Senior citizens who have a Golden Pass can attend for free. Anyone who has questions should call Schwind at 332.3200, #2251.
