On Monday, April 4, 2022 at 7:30 p.m., Rocky River Chamber Music Society will present something a little different by hosting an evening of JAZZ! For a short while, the usually-sedate sanctuary at West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church will become the home of a different kind of music. Bob Sneider, Associate Professor at the world-renowned Eastman School of Music, will lead several colleagues in a lively evening of Jazz music. Composer, guitarist, and educator, Bob Sneider has been a member of the faculty at the Eastman School since 1997. Before that time, Sneider had toured several years with two-time Grammy winner, Chuck Mangione.
Other notable musicians with whom Sneider has performed, toured, and recorded, have included Nat Adderley, Joe Locke, Pat Bianchi, Grant Stuart, Etta Jones, Don Menza, and many more. Sneider has performed in major festivals, concert halls, and jazz clubs throughout North and South America, and Europe. Throughout his career, Bob Sneider has made frequent appearances with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition, Sneider has toured with his brother John, and both have cut several recordings. Bob Sneider is a graduate of the University of Rochester where he studied with esteemed members of the Jazz faculty, Bill Dobbins and Fred Sturm.
In this its 63rd season, the Rocky River Chamber Music Society remains firmly committed to the presentation of concerts for Northeast Ohio audiences, whether virtual or in person.
