CARTHAGE — Texas Country Music Association (TCMA) announced the opening of the TCMA Event Center, a facility that has been in the planning stages for many years, according to Linda Wilson, president of TCMA.
The Mary Morgan Moore Department of Music will offer a series of free, hour-long virtual clinics featuring some of the most celebrated names in Jazz. The clinics will be presented during a regular rehearsal setting of the Cardinal Jazz Orchestra. Clinicians will critique the band and offer their perspective on jazz history and their careers, plus some Q and A time from members of the band.
