Second Presbyterian is delighted to present its inaugural concert for the season: THE STEPHEN LYNERD GROUP on Friday, November 16, 2018 at 7 p.m. A Chicago-based jazz ensemble, the Stephen Lynerd Group blends styles and genres to create a balanced, dynamic sound that is accessible and intelligent. It’s an evening of classical repertoire, and traditional and modern hymns in a fresh jazz setting. The Stephen Lynerd Group consists of vibraphone, piano, bass, and percussion. This concert is free, and perfect for the whole family. It will be followed by a coffeehouse-style reception. Born and raised in New York, Stephen completed a M.M. in Music Performance from the University of Maryland, College Park.

Their concert was one of the finest examples of how jaw-dropping talent can be meaningfully expressed … without showing off.” - Erik Dewar, College Church, Wheaton, IL More information about Stephen Lynerd and the Stephen Lynerd Group available at: stephenlynerd.com.
