Jazz Takeover Beginning March 18th

Stockton and the University of the Pacific are known for many things, but amongst all other things, Dave Brubeck is arguably one of the most iconic. Although he may not physically be with us anymore, his legacy lives on in Stockton.

The Brubeck Festival is an annual celebration that pays homage to not only Dave's music, but also his intellect and worldly influence. This year, the festival will be the week of  March 18 and will conclude on the 22nd.

To conclude the night, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz and Lincoln Center Orchestra (JLCO) will be performing at the Bob Hope Theater on Saturday, March 23. The performance will begin at 8 PM and is sure to be a great time for jazz enthusiasts. Prior to the concert, the area surrounding Bob Hope Theater will be abuzz with "The French Quarter" so come ready to celebrate with us the Louisiana way. The French Quarter will be a New Orleans-style street festival filled with French and Cajun cuisines along with street entertainment. This event will last from 4-8 PM, so feel free to enjoy the festival before you sit down to see the concert.






Don't miss this rare opportunity ! If you're interested in attending, we recommend you buy your tickets as soon as possible. You can find more information about the performance here.
