Jelani Eddington In Concert

South Suburban College's Music Department and the Joliet Area Theatre Organ Enthusiasts present a theatre organ concert, featuring Jelani Eddington at the keyboard. Performances will take place on October 19, 2011 at 12 Noon and 7:30pm.

Return to those thrilling days of yesteryear as Jelani Eddington, 2001 Theatre Organist of the Year, presents a lecture and accompanies a silent film. The Noon show will feature a lecture about theatre organ performance as well as a practical demonstration of the instrument. During the evening performance, Jelani will accompany a silent film. Cameras will be set up overhead so audience members will be able to see not only the film, but Jelani’s considerable skill at the keyboard.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to relive the past!

Admission is free to both concerts. Donations to music scholarship funds will be accepted. For more information, call the music office at 708-596-2000, ext. 2316.
