A professional concert is coming to Northwestern Oklahoma State University next week.
The Northwest Oklahoma Concert Series is hosting the band Jukebox Saturday Night, which will present its show “The Music of Mancini” on campus.
The show doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in Herod Hall.
The concert costs $5 to attend. It will start at 7 p.m. and end at 9 p.m.
“I think university students would enjoy this concert,” said Kimberly Weast, the chair of Fine Arts Department and executive director of the Northwest Oklahoma Concert Series.
“University students don’t usually have an opportunity to hear professional musicians, especially professional musicians of this caliber.”
The professional musicians are the band called Jukebox Saturday Night.
The band’s website says the band has two shows it presents: the “Big Band Review” and “Music of Mancini.” “The Music of Mancini” focuses on Henry Mancini’s popular compositions. This includes music from the TV shows “The Pink Panther,” “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” and “Peter Gunn.”
“Maybe they [students] don’t know if they would even like this type of music,” Weast said. “I would encourage them that, for $5, it would be worth trying out.”
