The Westerlies Siril Concert
The Westerlies, “an arty quartet…mixing ideas from jazz, new classical, and Appalachian folk” (New York Times) are a New York-based brass quartet comprised of Riley Mulherkar and Chloe Rowlands on trumpet, and Andy Clausen and Addison Maye-Saxon on trombone.
We are very excited to host The Westerlies on the NMU campus as part of a collaboration with the NMU Jazz Festival. Their Thursday evening Siril Concert will also serve as the opening concert of the 2026 NMU Jazz Festival. The members of the ensemble will serve as clinicians for visiting high school and middle school bands attending the Festival, and they will also be featured individually as guest soloists with NMU Jazz Ensembles during the Friday evening Jazz Festival Concert!
