Posted By: How May I Help You NC on July 31, 2024 Florida A&M University’s Lee Hall Auditorium will come alive on the evening of Thursday, April 18 with the sounds trumpets and saxophones in celebration of an academic program honoring two alumni and musical giants, Julian “Cannonball” and Nat Adderley. The FAMU Jazz Ensemble Concert will begin at 7:30. p.m. It is being held in honor of the unveiling of the Julian “Cannonball” and Nat Adderley Music Institute marker to commemorate the renaming of the University’s music industry program. In his invitation to members of the Adderley family, FAMU President Larry Robinson said, “I am excited to invite you all to join us for this beautiful celebration. Let’s make this a joyous celebration and fill Lee Hall Auditorium to capacity for an outstanding evening of music.” On December 7, 2023, the FAMU Board of Trustees approved the new name, marking the first time FAMU has named an academic program for specific individuals. The goal is to elevate the FAMU program to its true status of international recognition as a training place for future generations of musicians, executives, managers, publishers, agents, recording engineers, producers, artists, songwriters, and impresarios. The mission of the Julian “Cannonball” and Nat Adderley Music Institute is to propel the Institute upward to the highest echelons of Music Business programs – a level befitting the legacy of these celebrated musicians from FAMU. “It’s significant that it’s the first. It probably won’t be the last,” Robinson said at the time. “We set a high bar by naming it after the Adderleys. They have been so impactful in music not just here, but wherever they have gone around the world.” ADDITIONALLY: https://www.famu.edu/about-famu/news/famu-...
