SPRINGFIELD, OH - The Springfield Arts Council and Clark State Performing Arts Center will present trumpet legend Doc Severinsen in concert on Saturday, September 18 at 8:00 PM, Kuss Auditorium, downtown Springfield.

Well-known as the leader of the Tonight Show’s “NBC Orchestra” from the mid-1960s until 1992, Doc Severinsen is highly regarded as one of the most technically proficient trumpeters in the business. He still blows a horn like few others, and is a high-note virtuoso... and has not lost his flair for outrageous fashions and witty banter.

Since moving to Mexico at the end of 2006, Doc has kept a busy performance schedule and made new discoveries in two very talented musicians from Mexico. Together with Gil Gutierrez and Pedro Cartas, Doc has crafted an innovative and exciting program, EL RITMO DE LA VIDA - “the rhythm of life,” a very apt description of Gil & Cartas’ Spanish-flavored music.

According to Doc, “I came to Mexico with retirement on my mind, but when I heard them play I knew that I would be playing with them for some time to come. Latino music, along with the blues, has always been among my favorites, and Gil and Pedro do it along with a European style that I love and so do our audiences.”

Tickets for Doc Severinsen may be purchased by calling the Performing Arts Center Ticket Office. at 937-328-3874 (toll-free 866-PAC-TKTS.) Tickets may also be purchased online at www.pactkts.com. Special discounts for groups of 15 or more are also available.
