Billy’s contributions to the music scene are inestimable. \nWill Kjeer brings the continuum of jazz music to new audiences and stages across the globe. At the crossroads of jazz\, folk\, and classical music\, he is currently touring with the legendary folk singer Judy Collins. When not on the road he is producing and releasing original music featuring his own trio\, his jazz quintet\, and a jazz/classical chamber ensemble featuring string quartet. \nBy registering\, you’re not just grabbing a seat for a night of tunes and conversation—you’re helping a child get an instrument\, a lesson\, or a chance to join a band.
