About the Friday Jazz Series:
Tandem Press has been hosting the Friday Jazz Series since 2014. The UW-Madison Mead Witter School of Music’s jazz ensembles have performed three concerts in Tandem Press’s print viewing area each academic semester. Throughout the event, audience members are also invited to view the current exhibition in the Tandem Press Apex Gallery and stroll through the Paula & David Kraemer Print Studio to see the newest artworks being created at Tandem Press and get a peek at how the printmaking process works. The Tandem Press Curators and Collaborative Printmakers are available throughout the evening to answer any questions and discuss Tandem Press projects. Since 2018, Audio for the Arts and Microtone Media have been live-streaming and recording the jazz performances and producing additional video content for our virtual audience.
