“The latest installment in the Boomerang series is going to bring together a very diverse group of young performers in terms of abilities and playing styles,” said program lead Amber Bergeron. “There’s going to be a good balance of experience and a sliding scale of genre from completely classical to unmistakably jazz, with new music composed by a few performers and performed by local musicians – some of whom have been playing together for years. , and others who only recently met.

“Emily has compiled her acts reminiscent of her high school music career, as well as her current career, and she will weave a little story about her journey through music as the show progresses. She also recently picked up a new instrument in which this will be her first performance with him. If audiences want to see a group of talented youngsters having fun playing what they love, this is the show for them.
