SSMF grand finale concert at the Waterford - August 21, 2011 - tribute to Eddie Kozak

Leonard Kacenjar, director of the Shreveport Summer Music Festival, introduces the ensembles for the SSMF grande finale concert of this summer season at the Waterford in a tribute to longtime Shreveport musician Eddie Kozak,  pianist, percussionist, composer and educator who passed away last September having performed on the SSMF finale concert last August, 2010.

I attended the performance yesterday to pay my respects to a former teacher of mine as two ensembles took the stage and entertained a good sized, appreciative audience with some old and new favorites from the movies and television genre.
