On Tuesday, May 6, the college's Jazz Ensemble will feature Pillow, an international jazz artist, focusing on Pillow's de-orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures in an Exhibition." Pillow will perform on a variety of instruments. The repertoire also will include pieces by jazz greats Pat Metheny, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and an arrangement of Joe Zawinul's "Birdland" by Stan Gosek, emeritus professor of music at SUNY Oswego.

     On May 7, Pillow will sit in on saxophone with the Oswego Jazz Project, generally an all-faculty combo that occasionally invites students and other performers to play.

     On May 8, the college's Wind Ensemble will perform the world premiere of New Zealand-Canadian composer David Lisik's piece, "The Dogmas of the Quiet Past," featuring Pillow on alto sax. The group also will perform works by Percy Grainger, Eric Whitacre and Gustav Holst.
