SBHS Spring Dance Recital

It’s time once again to prepare for our annual dance recital! We are very excited to announce that this year is our 18th annual Dance Recital at Santa Barbara High School. Learning to perform in front of an audience is an important part of Arts Education. It provides opportunity for students to showcase their hard work and their development as dancers. Students build confidence and self-esteem while understanding the importance of practice and refinement. This has been such a rewarding experience for us all and we are excited to showcase to the community. Enclosed you will find information regarding our upcoming dance recital tickets. We hope to see you there!

The Marcus Roberts Trio

Jazz at The Lobero and The Santa Barbara Symphony present Marcus Roberts Trio on Wednesday, May 18, 2022 at 7:30 PM.

Marcus Roberts Trio

The Marcus Roberts Trio – a long-term musical partnership between pianist, Marcus Roberts, the phenomenal drummer Jason Marsalis, and gifted bassist Rodney Jordan

​The Marcus Roberts Trio is known for its virtuosic style and entirely new approach to jazz trio performance. While most jazz trios have the piano front and center, all members of the Marcus Roberts Trio share equally in shaping the direction of the music by changing its tempo, mood, texture, or form at any time. And they do this with lightning quick musical reflexes and creative imagination. The trio is known for having almost telepathic communication on the stage. And more than a few concert goers have been heard to say that it sounds like a lot more than three people up there on the stage!

“One way Roberts individualizes his sound is by utilizing orchestral devices initially borrowed from the Ahmad Jamal Trio. In the course of a single piece, he constantly modulates grooves, tempos and keys, plays separate time signatures with the right hand and the left, and, as he puts it, “flips around the roles of the piano, bass and drums by giving everyone an equal opportunity to develop the concepts and themes, to change the form, to get us where we’re getting ready to go.” Ted Panken, Jazziz Magazine

Added to the logic and balanced trio style of Ahmad Jamal, is the swing and virtuosity of the Oscar Peterson Trio, combined with the buoyant joyous sound of Erroll Garner. These influences provide a rich foundation for the ever evolving and expanding sound of the Marcus Roberts Trio. The musical cues combine with musical inspiration from all over the world, which guarantees that audiences never know where this trio is heading; influences from Africa, Europe, and South America are combined with American traditions to give this group an infinite palate of styles, timbres and colors to draw from.
