SOUTHBURY — The Berkshire Jazz Orchestra will perform at Southbury Public Library from 7-8:30 p.m. on Friday, September 2 in the Brinker Fireplace Hall at 100 Poverty Rd.

The Berkshire Jazz Orchestra is a 17-piece ensemble based in County Fairfield. The group includes many professional musicians and music teachers with great skill and incredible creative soloing abilities, who believe in keeping the big band genre fresh and alive.

They perform classic songs from the American Song Book made popular by Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Bette Midler and Natalie Cole, among others.
