Mardra & Reggie Thomas Ensemble

9/9: “JAZZ AT HOME” WITH THE MARDRA & REGGIE THOMAS ENSEMBLE.  For this concert, the husband-and-wife team of pianist Reggie and vocalist Mardra Thomas will perform with Sun Prairie High School’s awesome jazz program director, Steve Sveum.  Stepping into the rather large shoes left by the retiring Ronald Carter, Reggie is the new director of the outstanding Jazz Studies program at Northern Illinois University, while Mardra’s vocalizing has been favorably compared to Nancy Wilson, Mary Stallings, and Eartha Kitt.7:00 PM, Sun Prairie Performing Arts Center, 888 Grove Street, Sun Prairie. www.sunprairie.k12.wi.us/performingarts.​
