Galilee Lutheran Church To Host Dueling Vibraphones Concert

Vibraphones will rock when it hosts local jazz musicians Blake Cramer and Mike Nooman on Nov. 27 in a Galilee Fine Arts Series concert.

Both musicians in this war of the winds have storied backgrounds. Cramer is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston and has played with the US Naval Academy Band since 1992. Nooman is also a Berklee graduate and has a master's degree from the University of North Texas. Nooman has served as faculty at Gettysburg College and Luther College and has been presented twice with the Maryland State Arts Council Individual Artist Award.

The program will focus largely on traditional jazz standards but some improvisations will be included. Admission is free of charge but donations are encouraged. Cramer and Nooman will be available at a reception following the concert.
