Led by Glen J.

Hemberger said the ensemble will also feature vocalist Iuliia Alyeksyeyeva, a music major from Herson, Ukraine, who will perform the Rogers and Hart standard “My Funny Valentine.” Also on the program will be freshman alto saxophonist Vitalie Gumeniuc of Chisinau, Moldova, performing the classic ballad “Samantha” by famed jazz composer Sammy Nestico.
