Free concert. General Admission.
Seating first come, first served. No reservation required.
Doors open at 7 p.m.

Join New York pianist and La Crosse native Dave Marck and friends to celebrate the music of Harold Arlen, an American composer most famous for composing songs for the 1939 movie, The Wizard of Oz.

“Arlen wrote a great body of works that have been widely embraced for their melodic interest, tunes, intervals, and chord progressions,” Marck said. “He had an affinity for jazz musicians, and jazz musicians have an affinity for him.”

In addition to Over the Rainbow, the concert includes Come Rain or Come Shine, This Time the Dream is on Me, My Shining Hour, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea, and other classic songs.

Marck will be joined by longtime colleagues Greg Balfany on saxophone, Karyn Quinn on bass, and Rich MacDonald on drums. Marck spends much of the year in New York, where he is an acclaimed jazz pianist. He returns to La Crosse each year to visit friends and family and to perform in the area. This is his ninth free concert at Viterbo.
