DEDICATION Tonight’s performance is dedicated to the memory of Jim Dillon who played with the SSU Orchestra for several years.

Jim was an engineer by profession but loved music and was an active performer on the upright bass in jazz and orchestra ensembles throughout his life. He always came to rehearsal with a smile and enthusiasm for making music with others.

He was a fantastic role model to the students at SSU and personified the ideal of a life-long learner. You will be missed, Jim, but know that your spirit lives on in the music we make.
