CenterArts presents Jenny Scheinman on Saturday, Dec. 12 at 8 p.m. in the Van Duzer Theatre, HSU. Truly a case of “local girl makes good,” acclaimed composer, jazz violinist and singer, Jenny Scheinman grew up right here in Humboldt County's Petrolia.

Since moving to New York City in 1999, Ms. Scheinman has found herself working and recording alongside such lauded artists as Norah Jones, Bill Frisell, Lucinda Williams, and countless others. For the past five years, Scheinman has taken the #1 Rising Star Violinist title in the Downbeat Magazine Critics Poll and has been listed as one of their Top Ten Overall Violinists.

Joining Scheinman at the Dec. 12 concert will be pianist Myra Melford and Chicago based guitarist Robbie Gjersoe. Melford has performed and recorded with jazz trumpeter Dave Douglas, guitarist Bill Frisell and drummer Kenny Wolleson among others.

Tickets are $25 general, $20 Senior/Child and $15 HSU students. Tickets are available at the Works in Arcata and Eureka, University Ticket Office at HSU or at www.centerarts.humboldt.edu. For details and credit card orders, call CenterArts at 826-3928.
