A free concert at the Del E. Webb Center for the Performing Arts, 1090 S. Vulture Mine Road, in Wickenburg, is 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5, featuring the Jazz Ambassadors of the U.S. Army Field Band as they present “This We’ll Defend.”

The video-integrated program is a patriotic concert experience including the big band sounds of the 1940s to the contemporary hits of today in honor of Veterans Day.

Formed in 1969, this 19-piece ensemble is a touring jazz orchestra of the United States Army. An audition process draws candidates from leading conservatories, universities and the professional ranks.
