Guests can expect to hear about Native culture, history, art, and music. There will be a live flute and drum performance, storytelling, and many Native American artifacts. This event would not be possible without the support of the President’s Office, Office of Institutional Advancement, Student Support Services, Culinary Arts, Student Government Association, and Kirsten Moseley and her team of students.

The scholarship will be awarded during 2013, 2014 and 2015. In addition to ECTC, funds will be distributed by the KCTCS Foundation among the following other KCTCS colleges:

≪ Previous: Dental Clinic accepting patients

ECTC will host a talk by noted Kentucky author Rosie Moosnick on Thursday, January 24 at 6:30 p.m in Room 212 of the Regional Postsecondary Center. Her talk, “Stereotypes Confronting Arabs and Jews in the US,” examines both how Arabs and Jews stereotype each other and how they are stereotyped by non-Arabs and non-Jews. This event is free and open to the public.
Moosnick is a native Kentuckian, more specifically, Lexingtonian. A sociologist by training, she has spent the past couple years conducting oral histories with Arabs and Jews in Kentucky. She transformed the oral histories into a book manuscript with particular focus on Arab and Jewish women, which was recently accepted for publication by the University of Kentucky Press. Rosie is passionate about this work because Kentucky is often construed as a place lacking in diverse lives. Currently, Rosie is teaching part-time at the University of Kentucky. For more information on Moosnick, visit her website at https://www.as.uky.edu/users/nrmoos2. For more information about the speaking engagement, contact John Dryden at jdryden0003@kctcs.edu.

The Elizabethtown Community and Technical College Fine Arts Series will present a concert by the Jamey Aebersold Jazz Quartet: Jamey Aebersold—sax, Steve Crews—piano, Tyrone Wheeler—bass, and Jonathan Higgins—drums. The program will be held in the Morrison Gallery of the College Tuesday, Feb. 12, 2013 at 12:00 noon. The Fine Arts committee is sponsoring the performance, and there will be no admission charge. The public is cordially invited.

Jamey Aebersold is a world renowned saxophonist and jazz educator, and he will bring an exciting afternoon of music for the college and community. He attended Indiana University and graduated in 1962 with a Masters Degree in saxophone. He was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Music by Indiana University in 1992. He also plays piano, bass, and banjo.

In 1989, the International Association of Jazz Educators inducted Jamey into their Hall of Fame at the San Diego convention. With this award, Jamey joins other jazz luminaries, such as Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker, and Louis Armstrong. In 2007, Jamey was awarded the Indiana Governor’s Arts Award by Mitch Daniels, Governor of Indiana.

An internationally-known authority on jazz education and improvisation, Jamey has developed a series of Play-Alongs (books and CD/ sets, now numbering almost 130 volumes) as well as various other supplemental aids for the development of improvisational skills. The recordings employ some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world. For over 40 years, Jamey has been the director of Summer Jazz Workshops, week-long programs that have also traveled to Australia, New Zealand, Germany, England, Scotland, Denmark, and Canada.

Jamey has taught at three colleges and universities in the Louisville, Kentucky area and has made guest appearances in dozens of cities around the world. While conducting a jazz clinic in Brazil, he produced a 110-minute DVD/video titled Anyone Can Improvise, which has become a best-seller. Jamey has been a driving force in America’s native art form, jazz, and continues to kindle the fires of musical imagination in those with whom he comes in contact.
