JP Concerts presents the first performance of the Inter-NEC Collective, a group of students from the New England Conservatory of Music who are dedicated to Inter-Departmental collaborations. Our goal is to present performances where students from NEC's many different programs of study come together to contribute to the same works, producing sounds that blur the line between departments, and musical styles. JP Concerts tickets are $10 general admission at the door.

Musicians include: Diamanda Dramm, Alex Zhu (violin), Borey Shin (accordion), Joelle Wagner (bassoon), Wyatt Palmer (saxophone), Josh Mizruchi (trumpet), Jason Belcher (euphonium), Grant Randall (trombone), Beth Macdonald (tuba), Adrienne Arditti and Bethany Worrell (voice), Jay Hutchinson and Peter Bauer (clarinet), Dorsey Bass and Eddie Kass (bass), three keyboardists--Katie Balch, Yijuan Geng, James Hurley; three percussionists--Moses Eder, Neal Markowski, Marty Wirt; and four guitarists-- Anthony Ambroso, Andrew Clinkman, Simon Hanes, Evan Allen.
