GOSHEN, Ind. — Aaron Kaufman of Tiskilwa participated in the Goshen College Lavender Jazz band during the fall semester, under the direction of adjunct professor Sonny Carreńo.

Kaufmann, the son of Phillip and Pamela Kaufmann of Tiskilwa, plays trombone. A freshman collegiate studies major, he is a 2008 graduate of Princeton High School and attends Willow Springs Mennonite Church.

Lavender Jazz is Goshen College’s big band that plays classic jazz standards and styles, such as swing, blues, waltz, mambo, cha cha and funk. Lavender Jazz performs in a variety of settings, including concert halls, malls, churches, high schools and makes recruiting trips throughout the year.

Kaufman also participated in choral groups at Goshen College during the fall semester.

The Goshen College Chorale numbers 65 to 75 singers and represents a wide variety of academic majors. The choir sings primarily sacred repertoire from all periods of music history. Occasionally, the Chorale joins with the Chamber Choir and Orchestra to perform major choral/orchestral pieces. Two on-campus and several off-campus concerts are presented each year, including an annual tour. Membership is open to any Goshen College student by audition.

The Goshen College Men’s Chorus is made up of 35-40 men from across campus who enjoy the vitality and energy of a collegiate male chorus.
