For Immediate Release – Sumner County Symphony does benefit Concert for Smith County Senior Center

          Combining the talents of a record producer, an independent film maker, a conductor of a symphony and an author/composer, ClazzyO, an ensemble from the Sumner County Symphony, is constantly breaking new ground in the realms of contemporary instrumental music, blending the best of pop and classical with a hint of jazz.

          Featuring Jerrod Cring on drums, Russ Cring on bass, Janet Clazzy on oboe and the WX-5 Wind Machine (which offers the sounds of over 200 different instruments) and Jonathan Richard Cring on keyboards, the quartet has delighted audiences across the country with its energetic and inventive musical stylings, highlighted by humor and inspiration.

          “Music was meant to be a uniter of people, not a divider into categories,” says director Clazzy from her home in Hendersonville, Tennessee.  “It is our great joy to musically tip our hat to all the great artists—from Bach to Lennon and McCartney, to Bob Dylan, to Scott Joplin, to Beethoven.”

          The Smith County Senior Center is a focus point for seniors, providing them a place to come to away from home, so that they don’t have to be by themselves,“ states director Jan Johnson. “We serve all of the Smith County seniors with daily meals, activities, transportation services, day trips, and health programs including health screenings.”
