Omaha’s Burt Street Individuals bring their groove-filled signature sound back to UNMC on Thursday as they perform during the Music as Medicine concert.
When: Noon
Where: Durham Outpatient Center West Atrium.
Who: The band is a six-piece jazz ensemble featuring the Erickson family. Father, Lars, plays piano and mother, Lisa, plays flute. The couple’s four children also play instruments with Alek on bass, Adam behind the drums, Emma on cello and Helen on clarinet.
What: They have played at UNMC since 2004 and hit on many styles during their performances including Baroque pieces by J.S. Bach and music by jazz great Herbie Hancock. Original numbers by Lars — an accomplished composer and jazz pianist — also will be featured.
Bring your lunch and enjoy the fabulous music.
