Details
Loyola celebrates the music of the late jazz great, Mary Lou Williams (1910-1981). As an adult convert to Catholicism (with many ties to the Jesuits), Williams expressed her faith in her music¿innovatively composing and situating jazz in liturgical settings and demonstrating the sacral range of jazz music in new registers. The Hank Center welcomes Williams scholar and jazz pianist, Deanna Witkowski, author of Williams¿ biography, Mary Lou Williams: Music for the Soul for several events and classroom visits at LUC.
