They regularly invite student jazz ensembles to join them and will provide guest clinicians. This is a way to get these budding musicians into a real world environment playing the music they love in addition to an auditorium in front of parents or classmates. \nAdditionally\, the PEBB has hosted numerous fundraisers at their events to help raise money (and food / toys) for local non-profits such as Loaves & Fishes\, Toys for Tots\, Kids Matter\, Kidz Cabaret\, Youth Symphony of DuPage\, Naperville Educational Foundation\, Gil Ellman Memorial Fund\, and more! To Pete\, it is all about giving back to the community to help kids\, in general\, and also to give kids an opportunity to participate in the arts. \nPete has worked full time at Ellman’s Music Center since 1985\, having worked in nearly every position in the company\, from repairman to outside sales representative to purchasing agent to janitor. With that kind of overall experience\, he has a uniquely complete vision on how to run the business. \nPete continues to play professionally and has performed with nationally known artists such as Wayne Newton\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Aretha Franklin\, Bob Newhart\, Chicago Sinfonietta\, and many more. Being a trumpet player\, Pete’s favorite artist to date has been world renowned trumpeter Wayne Bergeron. \nPete attended DePaul University and majored in Music Performance. Peter attends many industry specific and financial seminars including NASMD\, NAPBIRT\, and NAMM. He sits on the board of the Naperville Municipal Band.

SUMMARY:An Evening With Leslie Beukelman
DESCRIPTION:Local talent Leslie Beukelman\, originally from Sandwich\, Illinois\, joins the Pete Ellman Big Band for a Cool Night of Hot Jazz!\n\n“Exquisite vocalist… (who has) mastered genres as vast as soul\, melodic jazz\, scat\, rock and atonal experimentation…”\n– Lucia Mauro (Chicago Tribune)\n\n“Leslie Beukelman has a striking voice that conveys emotion subtly and elegantly….Her sound is haunting and personal.”\n– All About Jazz (Golden Daffodil Review Sept 2020)\n\nPerforming in my youth was a priority\, mostly because I enjoyed being on stage with a crew of people\, taking the audience (and ourselves) on a journey that would only happen that very way on that very day. We were a team and we were in it together. Going to school at Roosevelt University’s Chicago College of Performing Arts here in the city of Chicago\, I earned a jazz performance/jazz studies degree. In addition to meeting a lot of cool people and studying with some of the best musicians the world has to offer\, I gained tools to refine my craft and figure out what kind of musical house I wanted to build. I haven’t settled on one type of house yet\, as I enjoy many styles of music. Staying true to my initial statement of “taking the audience on a journey\,” I do not limit myself to one genre of song and I enjoy exploring music with the incredible musicians I have met through the years and have the true honor of collaborating. – Leslie
