With the warmer weather, this
weekend brings a couple of fun musical events sponsored by local groups in the
Hot Springs area.
From 6-11 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22,
the Hot Springs Jazz Society sponsors the Mardi Gras Costume Ball at the Austin
Hotel in Historic Downtown Hot Springs. The event includes music, dancing and a
costume contest. Cajun food and drinks will be available for purchase from the
Hotel. The main music for the night is the Dixieland band, Delta Brass Express.
Doors for the event open at 5:30 p.m.
This is the only fund-raiser for the Jazz Society for the year and a great way
to support the Society’s jazz events and educational programming. Prizes are
also a part of the festivities. For more information and tickets call
501.321.6171 or visit online at HSJazzSociety.org.
At 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon, Feb. 23,
the Hot Springs Community Band Concert takes place at the Hot Springs
Convention Center. The Community Band consists of the Hot Springs Concert Band,
New Horizons Band and the Village Big Band for an afternoon of music delight.
The Hot Springs Concert Band is an
85-member ensemble that performs regularly in the Hot Springs area and is known
for the summer series in Whittington Park. New Horizons Band consists of 30
musicians playing various venues in the Hot Springs area and is designed for
musicians who haven’t played in a band recently and who wish to play in a
musical ensemble again. The Village Band plays tunes from the dance band era of
Glenn Miller and Benny Goodman as well as jazz tunes. For more information, call 501.984.1678.
If you’re in town for a great
musical weekend and have a few minutes to spare, we’d love to show you around
our special part of Hot Springs at Diamondhead Resort Community. At Diamondhead
we support all the arts in the Hot Springs area, especially the music venues.
