Noel Freidline Quintet to Aid UNF Programs

Noel Freidline will return to UNF on Jan. 30-31 with his quintet to hold a master class for music students and to perform with the UNF Jazz Ensemble I in a concert to benefit the University’s Steinway Piano Campaign. A UNF alumnus, Freidline will spend Friday, Jan. 30, with the University music students discussing topics such as the business side of the music industry and how to promote your music.

The concert Saturday, Jan. 31, will raise money for instruments for UNF, specifically pianos. With the new Fine Arts Center and expanding music programs, the University needs pianos and seeks to become an All Steinway School. Proceeds from the concert will provide support for the pianos.

The concert is Saturday, Jan. 31, at 7:30 p.m. in the Lazzara Performance Hall at UNF’s Fine Arts Center. Tickets are $25 and are available from the University Ticket Box Office at (904) 620-2878.
