The two-day Jazz in June festival offers a variety of options for jazz lovers, including featured nighttime concerts Friday, June 16, and Saturday, June 17, at the Camden Opera House.

The UMaine Jazz Ensemble, part of the Jazz Studies program, performs a variety of challenging, significant, diversified and contemporary literature within the genre. The concert, free to all, is set for Saturday, June 17, at 1 p.m. in the amphitheater next to Camden Public Library. Jazz in June’s other outdoor concert will open the fest noon Friday, June 16, with the Myles Kelley Trio and MidCoast Music Academy Faculty Band, on the Village Green.
