UTrio, a newly formed University faculty group focusing on jazz organ, will take the stage of Doermann Theater Thursday, March 3, at 7 p.m.
The group features UT jazz faculty members Jay Rinsen Weik on guitar, Tad Weed on organ, and Dr. Olman E. Piedra on drums.

During the concert, audience members will be able to join the musicians on stage for a more intimate performance. The concert will be filmed for video release.
In addition, Weed has created a jazz organ program at UT for students. “It is so unique, it may be the only one of its kind in the country,” Weed said.
The program features student musicians on guitar, drums and horns, as well as organ. The jazz organ player covers both solos and harmony, and takes the role of the bass player.
Tickets to the concert are $5 for general admission and $3 for students, seniors and children.
