It’s been nearly a year since The Sound Conservatory, 1600 2nd Ave., Rock Island, moved to its current space, and the bustling music school, store and concert venue continues to grow.
In a new summer concert series, the sophisticated, stunning building (in the former 1901 Illinois Theatre) hosted over 100 people for acclaimed jazz pianist Laurence Hobgood and his trio on Sunday, May 28. Polyrhythms (which presents the Third Sunday Jazz Series in the Quad Cities) was the main sponsor for Hobgood – a virtuoso pianist, collaborator, composer, arranger, producer, educator, Yamaha artist, multiple Grammy nominee and 2010 Grammy winner.
