Tickets for the concert are $17 and can only be purchased at www.wglt.org or by calling the GLT Studios at 309-438-8910.  Last year’s concert was a sell-out, so early ticket purchase is encouraged. Seating is general admission. The GLT Jazz Masters concert starts at 8:00 p.m., with doors opening at 7:00 p.m. and will be held in the Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall on Illinois State University’s campus.

Through the New Orleans Musicians Relief Fund, organized by Jeff and Karen Beninato who recently relocated from New Orleans to Normal, GLT is going to adopt a jazz artist, a blues artist, and a school in New Orleans for whom GLT will be collecting monetary donations to purchase new professional instruments for the artists. GLT will also collect working instruments and equipment to send to students and other artists in need. Funds and instruments will be collected at every GLT event this year.
