Accompanied by Director of Jazz Studies Gary Thomas, a sextet of Peabody Conservatory jazz students and alumni traveled in January to Kawasaki, Japan, one of Baltimore’s sister cities. The “Baltimore City Peabody Jazz Ensemble”—Jacob Silver, Daniel Cherouny, Kevin Clark, Blake Meister, Russell Kirk, and Daniel Marcellus—performed with ensembles of Japanese jazz students and professionals in concerts at Senzoku Gakuen University, Kawasaki International Center, and Showa University of Music.
