Two generations of UConn Jazz. One Hartford stage. 🎷

UConn Jazz Studies alum Ciara Garcia recently headlined at Black-Eyed Sally’s with her quartet, featuring current Jazz Studies student Ohm Soni on drums.

A baritone saxophonist, Garcia led a standout performance that brought together a UConn alum and current student while highlighting the strong connection between UConn Music and Hartford’s vibrant music scene.

We’re especially proud to see Ohm, who also works with the SFA Marketing team, sharing his talent on stage.

Congratulations to Ciara and Ohm on a wonderful evening of music! 🎶
