Music Club with Tony Steve! June 28th!


Our next Music Club is June 28th in the Main Library Auditorium and it starts at 4pm. Remember the class is geared to children ages 8-12, but we welcome children ages 6-14.

Our very special guest for this program is Tony Steve! He'll be using our big movie screen to show some silent film shorts as he produces a live soundtrack with percussion instruments. He'll be talking to the children about different percussion instruments, and how they create different moods in cinema.
Tony Steve is a professor of percussion and composition at Jacksonville University. He has performed with the Jacksonville Symphony (member 13 years), Israeli Festival Orchestra, Glimmerglass Opera Orchestra, Hartford Symphony, North Eastern Pennsylvania Symphony, Greenwich Symphony, and Bridgeport Symphony as a percussionist.
He has toured with “A Chorus Line” in Europe, appeared in Korea as marimba soloist with the Brooklyn Percussion Ensemble, and performed as percussionist at Madison Square Garden for “A Christmas Carol”. In addition, he has worked with Henry Mancini, Lou Rawls, Sheri Lewis and The Xaiver Cugat Orchestra. Professor Steve has also won numerous ASCAP writers awards and his music is performed in America as well as Europe and Asia.

We're very excited to have such a unique and amazing performer for our next installment of Music Club!

You can listen some of Professor Steve's own compositions here. And here is a .pdf of our flier.

And here's a small sample of some of the film he'll be providing a soundtrack for...




See you June 28th!
