Music lovers unite with College of Lake County’s (CLC) spring music concerts beginning in March. Critically acclaimed Kristin Korb will be the guest artist at the 48th annual “Art of Jazz” concert series Sunday, March 16.

Based in Denmark, Korb is a rare breed of musician who effortlessly blends her talents as a bassist and vocalist, captivating listeners with her crystal-clear voice while expertly maneuvering the bass. Korb also will lead a free masterclass, open to the public, at 11 a.m. Saturday, March 15, in Room P101 at CLC’s Grayslake Campus.

"We are excited to welcome bassist and vocalist Kristin Korb to CLC to perform with our award-winning jazz ensemble,” said Michael Flack, CLC music instructor. “Her time with the great bassist Ray Brown, with whom she made her recording debut, along with her impressive teaching resume at the University of Southern California, combine to offer our voice and instrumental students, as well as the Lake County community, a unique opportunity to learn from an experienced performer and educator."
