Centerville’s Summer Concert Series begins with Sound Body Jazz Orchestra

The Centerville Arts Commission will kick off their 2010 Summer Concert Series with a free performance by the Sound Body Jazz Orchestra. Formed in 1992 as a collaboration of Cincinnati’s, Roger Bacon High School Band Alumni, Sound Body has received tremendous response to its eclectic combination of classic big band swing with contemporary jazz and fusion. The band's name, adapted from the high school's Latin motto, "Mens Sana en Corpore Sano" (A Sound Mind in a Sound Body), is quite appropriate, given the powerhouse ensemble work that is the trademark of the 18-piece group.  

The Stubbs Park Amphitheater is located at 255 West Spring Valley Road in Centerville.  The amphitheater offers only lawn seating, but blankets and chairs are permitted, and parking is free.  The concession stand is operated by Centerville Catering and no alcohol is permitted.  In case of inclement weather, call the concert hotline at (937) 433-7155 for updates. 

The Centerville Summer Concert Series brings talented musicians and performers to the Stubbs Park Amphitheater stage all summer long.  Free concerts are scheduled every week until September 12.  For a complete schedule go to www.ci.centerville.oh.us.  This year’s series is sponsored by Holiday Inn Express & Suites and Storage Inns of America. 

The Centerville Arts Commission was created by Centerville City Council to involve the citizens of the Centerville area in the visual and performing arts. For more information on the Arts Commission, phone the City of Centerville at (937) 433-7151 or visit our website.
