Members of the Lincoln College Contemporary Jazz Studies (CJZS)
program will perform Thursday, May 6, at Lincoln Heritage Museum on
the Lincoln College campus. The outdoor performance on the east
patio begins at 6:00 p.m.
The performance features original songs from the next Lincoln
College student-written musical film, “Grey Tin County,” set to air
on the LC-CJZS YouTube channel in June 2021 (airdate TBD).
“We are incredibly grateful that our performers and composers are
permitted to provide live entertainment again to the Lincoln
community. It’s a great opportunity for students to gain experience
performing before a live audience and to partner with the Lincoln
Heritage Museum,” said Denise La Grassa, Lead Faculty for the CJZS
program at Lincoln College.

Attendees are encouraged to take a free tour of the first floor of Lincoln
Heritage Museum prior to the concert. Lincoln Heritage Museum is currently
featuring 112 letters and photographs depicting the Civil War story of the John
and Esther Hawes family from Eminence Township in Logan County near Atlanta,
Illinois. Letters written by brothers Henry and George Hawes and half-brother
James Ewing - all three soldiers in battle - to parents John and Esther are on
display. The letters date from 1861 through 1865.
The live musical event will be on the east patio of Lincoln Heritage Museum at
1115 Nicholson Road in Lincoln. In the event of inclement weather, the event
will be relocated to the Johnston Center for Performing Arts.
