July 31, 2014
Time: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
Location: Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art, Auburn University

 
The Museum Café transforms night side with expanded entertainment. The jazz riffs of Cullars Improvisational Rotation fill the air from 6 to 8 pm.
 
Performance regulars include Patrick McCurry and Dan Mackowski. McCurry’s music crosses boundaries between jazz and classical, pop and art, secular and sacred. He holds a Masters degree in Chamber Music Performance from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and studied jazz improvisation, composition and arranging while earning his undergraduate degree from Loyola University New Orleans. Mackowski has been part of Auburn, Alabama’s jazz scene since arriving in 1990. He was part of the Auburn Knights Orchestra from 2001 to 2004 and now arranges pop and big band tunes for solo fingerstyle guitar. Like many of his generation, Dan became fascinated with the guitar after seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show. He played in rock bands while pursuing degrees in physics and mechanical engineering. Now, Dr. Mackowski is Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Auburn University. He teaches courses in thermodynamics and energy-related science and researches the mathematical description of electromagnetic wave scattering.

The Museum Café’s tapas menu ranges from seven to 10-dollars, and the portions are meant for sharing with beer, wine, and cocktail menus available with valid I.D.; so, bring your friends (and the weekend) a little closer with a night on the town at your museum. Galleries are open until 8 pm. Admission is free courtesy of JCSM Business Partners.
