More information on this concert series is on our "Sounds of Music" Concert Series page.

Pianist, arranger, composer, and producer Demetrius "Krayon" Nabors is well-known here in Detroit and is now a rising star on the national and international music scenes. Demetrius's musical influences include gospel, jazz, classical and blues, all genres that can be heard in his performances and compositions. His talents caught the attention of Motown recording artist, KEM, who hired Demetrius as a music producer for Kemistry Records, LLC. Besides KEM, he has also worked with Randy Scott, Lin Rountree, Tim Bowman and Terrance Palmer and Althea Renee. In the summer of 2010 he was one of 35 international jazz composers chosen to study for a week at Columbia University in Manhattan for the Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute. Demetrius is a two-time winner of the Detroit Music Award (2011, 2012) in the category of Outstanding Gospel/Christian Musician. Armed with a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Jazz Studies and Improvisation from the University of Michigan, Demetrius' talents have taken him to Europe and Africa and were showcased in a recent episode of the Arsenio Hall Show. He has released critically acclaimed solo CDs ("A Journey Within Part I" and "Christmas with Krayon") and is currently working on a third. Join us for this hot summer jazz party!
