LEWISBURG (WVDN) – Carnegie Hall’s 2023 Ivy Terrace Concert Series continues Thursday, July 27, at 6:30 p.m. with the West Virginia Jazz Orchestra (WVJO).

The West Virginia Jazz Orchestra was formed in 2000 by Joe Buttram, Peter Hill, & Gary Williams and quickly selected Jeff Bryant as their music director. The group is made up of 21 performers who play mostly music from the Big Band era. The band has two vocalists and performs locally for a variety of occasions.
