Three conservatory seniors—pictured from left: Jake Silverman (piano), Evan Levine (bass), and Miles Labat (drums)— coalesced into a jazz ensemble in late fall for a series of winter performances in Italy dubbed Oberlin Jazz Outreach. The trio held master classes with Italian students and played shows in Florence, Siena, and Alba along with Professor Bobby Ferrazza (far right) on guitar.
While one group of students spent winter term on campus making their first compositions with TIMARA’s Tom Lopez ’89 in a program called Beginning Electronic Music, another contingent joined fellow TIMARA faculty members Peter Swendsen ’98 (pictured, far left) and Lyn Goeringer in a composition seminar at the Banff Centre in Alberta.
