The CSI Jazz Ensemble and CSI Madrigals are teaming up to present their annual Spring Jazz Collaboration 10.0 to be held on  Thursday, March 14 at 7:30 PM in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium.  Admission is free, but donations to the CSI Music Department Scholarship Fund are always appreciated.

This tenth year of collaboration includes fresh takes on classics like "Sing, Sing, Sing," "Moonlight over Vermont," "Java Jive," and "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy." The Mads will also honor their a cappella roots with stunning jazz arrangements of "When She Loved Me" as performed by Idea of North and the Stevie Wonder funk classic "I Wish." The Jazz Ensemble will be recreating the Woody Herman band's classic arrangement of "Things Ain't What They Used to Be," and Madrigals director Serena Jenkins Clark will also solo with the jazz ensemble.

Tickets are available for the final performance of the Arts on Tour season, Collectif9, which will take place in the CSI Fine Arts Auditorium on Monday, April 1 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $22 for adults and $10 for students high school & under and are available at  tickets.csi.edu, at the CSI Box Office, or by calling 732-6288.

Montreal's cutting-edge classical string ensemble Collectif9 has been gathering steam since its 2011 debut, attracting diverse audiences in varied spaces. Known for energized, innovative arrangements of classical repertoire, Collectif9 employs lights, staging, and amplification more commonly seen at rock acts and heralds a new age in genre-bending classical performance. The ensemble combines the power of an orchestra with the crispness of a chamber ensemble for a unique experience. The musicians and friends met as students at Université de Montréal and McGill University: they wanted to create something different yet complementary to traditional representations of classical music, more relatable to pop culture. Learning from the classical works that have influenced non-classical musicians and the structure of pop concerts, Collectif9 looks for ways to break the stigma of inapproachability, searches for new ways of expression within the classical medium, and attempts to foster communication and collaboration between artists and within their community.

The Arts on Tour series concludes on April 1 with Collectif9.
