The Melbourne Municipal Band’s 3-2-1 Jazz Orchestra will present its “Hometown Composers” concert on May 13 and 14 at Melbourne Auditorium. The free events start at 7 p.m. both nights and feature original works by local musicians and composers with ties to Brevard County. Conductor Kurt Schulenburg said the concerts highlight the area’s musical depth, with pieces written or arranged by performers ranging from seasoned veterans to emerging artists. The series includes works by Phil Coe, who has performed with Frankie Avalon and Clark Terry, and Michael Mirand, a jazz vocalist and Frank Sinatra tribute artist with over 40 years of experience. Bill Murray, a Brevard native and Cannonball Records artist, will debut an original composition during the shows. Admission is free but seating is limited, with early arrival recommended. Details are available at mmband.org or by calling 321-724-0555. Other events in mid-May include a Journey and Styx tribute, a patriotic music celebration, and a dog-friendly brew fest in Indialantic. A wine dinner and bourbon tasting are also scheduled, though specific dates for those events were not listed in the original report. The concerts and gatherings reflect ongoing cultural activity across Brevard’s cities and towns. The “Hometown Composers” series is part of the band’s regular programming, which draws audiences from throughout the Space Coast. Schulenburg emphasized the importance of supporting local musicians, noting that the concerts provide a platform for talent often overlooked in favor of touring acts. The two-night event is the first major performance by the 3-2-1 Jazz Orchestra this year, following a hiatus due to venue renovations at the Melbourne Auditorium.
