Friday, May 15, 2009 Delfeayo Marsalis, renowned New Orleans trombonist and Jazz musician, headlined the Foundation's first ever Celebration of the Arts. One of the goals of the event was to use music to bring people of all ages together to inspire connections and build community...Mission Accomplished! |

| An outstanding performance by the Delfeayo Marsalis Quintet (pictured below).

Prior to the Quintet, jazz bands from Watertown-Mayer , Chaska and Waconia High Schools performed to an enthusiastic crowd of approximately 130 people at Faith Lutheran Church in Waconia. |

Watertown-Mayer Jazz Ensemble Music Director: Peter Jacobson |
Chaska Jazz 1 Music Director: Paul Swanson |

Waconia Jazz 1 Music Directors: John Pohland and Brady Krusemark |

In addition to the outstanding evening of Jazz, all high school jazz bands were invited that same afternoon to learn from Marsalis in an informal clinic setting. It was a unique opportunity to learn from a class-act artist and a gift to local youth from The Community Foundation for Carver County. |

The Community Foundation for Carver County is working to establish a Celebration of the Arts Endowment, providing an opportunity for people to have a direct impact on local arts initiatives. The vision is to award grants and/or scholarships that are focused on creating and sustaining and thriving arts environment for generations. Please consider a gift today in support of the local arts. |
