SUMMARY:Jazz at CAM: Thrio
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 6 | 7 PM \nCAM Members: $40\nNot-Yet Members: $60\nStudents and Educators: $15 \nJoin us for Jazz at CAM as we present Thrio! \nExpect a performance filled with tight ensemble interplay\, rich improvisation\, and a deep reverence for the jazz tradition. With a sound that’s both grounded and exploratory\, Thrio brings fresh energy to originals and reimagined standards alike. \nJazz at CAM is must for jazz lovers in the Wilmington area! \nCAM Café is open for dinner the night of jazz performances. If you’d like to have dinner before the show\, please reserve a table by calling (910) 777-2363. If attending the jazz show\, we recommend making your reservation time no later than 6 PM to ensure you make it to the performance on time. \nABOUT THE GROUP \nThrio is the uncompromising sound of pianist Andrew Berinson\, bassist Paul Creel\, and drummer Donovan Cheatham—three deeply connected musicians whose artistry is rooted in the straight-ahead jazz tradition while embracing creative exploration. Formed in central North Carolina\, Thrio presents a compelling blend of original compositions and reimagined American standards\, delivered with clarity\, swing\, and purpose. \nThe group emerged organically from years of collaboration\, musical kinship\, and shared spiritual and artistic values. Thrio is a band in the truest sense—three distinct\, consistent musical voices committed to creating something greater together. Their sound reflects not only their diverse musical influences but also a bond forged by brotherhood\, faith\, and a shared devotion to the music. Thrio released their debut single Find Your Way in August 2022\, followed by their first full-length album Thrio Volume 1 just one month later. Their latest release\, Thrio Volume 2\, dropped worldwide on March 21\, 2025\, showcasing the group’s growth in dynamic range\, compositional depth\, and ensemble cohesion. \nIndividually and collectively\, the members of Thrio have performed at premier events including the Duck Jazz Festival\, Savannah Jazz Festival\, Detroit Jazz Festival\, Topsail Jazz Festival\, and Jacksonville Jazz Festival. They are sought-after collaborators who regularly perform with notable figures such as Nnenna Freelon\, Pierce Freelon\, Carmen Lundy\, and Stephen Riley. Between them\, they have shared the stage with jazz luminaries including Branford Marsalis\, Ellis Marsalis\, Mary Stallings\, Joe Chambers\, Wallace Roney\, Nicholas Payton\, Herlin Riley\, Tia Fuller\, Wycliffe Gordon\, and many others. Thrio continues to carve a space for honest\, swinging\, and spiritually grounded jazz in the modern musical landscape.

SUMMARY:Veterans Day Concert
DESCRIPTION:The Wilmington Virtuosi Brass is a British-style brass band founded by cornetist Richard Hillson in 2023 two years after moving from England\, where his family was long involved in competition level brass bands.  After joining the Wilmington Symphony and the Symphonic Winds he was impressed by the level of talent in the community and decided Wilmington was ready to have its own competition level band.  An open rehearsal held for that purpose drew an overwhelming response from local musicians\, and the Wilmington Virtuosi Brass was soon launched.  Its roster consists of retired military bandsmen\, local music teachers and professors\, freelance professionals\, and dedicated amateurs.  It enjoys a strong relationship with the UNCW Department of Music where it rehearses under the direction of Dr. Dominic Talanca\, Steve Skillman\, and Tony Granados\, one of the nation’s top directors with many awards to his name. Despite being the only new band at the annual North American competitions held in Ft. Wayne last April\, the WVB placed well in its division and plans to return in 2026.  The WVB is a 501(c)(3) organization relying on donations from members and the local community. \nThe band will honor America’s Armed Forces and allies at the Veterans Day USO concert with “Fanfare for the Common Man” by Aaron Copland\, patriotic music by John Philip Sousa\, John Williams\, and other music composed for brass bands.

DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the magic of the season with a vibrant Mexican Christmas\, featuring the world-class music of Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar and the dazzling dance of Ballet Folklorico del Rio Grande. \nMariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar \nOriginally from Bakersfield\, California\, Jimmy Cuellar began his mariachi career as a teenager alongside his father Jaime Cuellar and was a founding member of Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuellar.

His talents as an educator as well as nationally-regarded expert\nin the genre have earned Jimmy a yearly seat as an adjudicator for the statewide Mariachi Competition held in Texas.
