EAU CLAIRE —The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Vocal Jazz will perform at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 24, in Gantner Concert Hall of the Haas Fine Arts Center.
       The group, under the direction of Daniel Newman, associate professor of music and theatre arts, will perform 10 selections by various composers.
       The concert will begin with Kirby Shaw's "Brand New Attitude," followed by "Chattanooga Choo Choo," arranged by Vern Swain. Other selections will include "Tuxedo Junction" arranged by Jerry Nowak and "Yesterday" arranged by David Cazier.
       "The concert will begin and end with all ten singers in one ensemble," said Newman. "However, because vocal jazz is a small ensemble art form, we have formed two groups within the class, The Connotations and The Dischords, and each of the singers in these groups will be spotlighted in solos. I am looking forward to presenting the new vocal jazz ensembles to the public on April 24."
       Tickets, available at the University Service Center, (715) 836-3727, are $3.75 for adults; $2.75for those age 62 and older, children 17 and younger, and faculty or staff with a university ID; or free for students with a university ID.
