Jazz Cabaret at Symphony Hall


The Paul Merrill Quartet will be Upstairs at Symphony Hall on Friday, June 5th at 7:30 PM.

The concert will include classic standards and originals, featuring repertoire from the Miles Davis and Gil Evans collaborations.

He has recently been awarded a third commission with the Commission Project (TCP) for Chad Lefkowitz-Brown and his compositions continue to be performed by many college and high school ensembles.

Currently pursuing a DMA in Jazz Studies and Contemporary Media at the Eastman School of Music, Merrill remains active as a clinician, Area All-State director, improvisation teacher, freelance trumpeter, and member of the Central New York Jazz Orchestra.
