Wayne, the October calendar has a good reason to put down the remote: two local music dates are coming up just three days apart.

The Caleb & Allison Rumley Quintet is scheduled at Wayne Public Library on Thursday, October 15, at 7 p.m.

Then Vanderlei Pereira & Blindfold Test appears in the library’s free Sunday jazz series on October 18 at 4 p.m.

The second concert takes place at Our Lady of Consolation Church, so the two dates belong on your calendar with different addresses.

🎶 Thursday brings the quintet to the library

The October 15 flyer describes a program featuring jazz classics and modern tunes.

It lists Caleb Rumley on trombone and Allison Rumley on alto saxophone, joined by Oscar Perez on piano, Bill Moring on bass, and Tim Horner on drums.

That combination puts horns and a rhythm section together for an evening of live ensemble playing.

You do not need to recognize every musician or tune to make a concert worth attending.

Listen for how a phrase moves from one instrument to another, or simply settle in and enjoy the sound.

The performance is listed for the library’s Meeting Room A/B at 461 Valley Road.

Advance registration is requested, and the flyer says the program is open to Wayne residents and PALS Plus cardholders.

Use October 15 registration to check current availability and attendance requirements rather than counting on a walk-in seat.

The listing does not give a confirmed ending time, so avoid building a tight plan around an assumed concert length.

🥁 Sunday adds a different musical flavor

The October 18 flyer presents Vanderlei Pereira & Blindfold Test as a six-piece ensemble combining samba, jazz, and Brazilian rhythms.

It describes Pereira as a Brazilian drummer and percussionist and lists the performance as free and open to the public.

The concert is at Our Lady of Consolation Church, 1799 Hamburg Turnpike, with a 4 p.m. start.

The flyer says no registration is necessary for this Sunday performance.

That distinction matters: registering for Thursday’s library event is not the same thing as planning for Sunday’s church concert.

Check the October 18 concert flyer before heading out so the venue and start time stay together in your plans.

The flyer does not promise a particular set list, so treat the description as a guide to the ensemble’s musical approach.

📍 Make the outing easy

For Thursday, give yourself time to find the library meeting room and settle in before the music starts.

For Sunday, route directly to the church rather than the library; the sponsor’s name alone does not tell you the performance location.

If you need accessible seating or other accommodations, ask the organizer ahead of time about the specific venue.

Bring a friend if you like, but confirm Thursday’s registration process for each attendee.

Silence your phone before the performance and ask about recording policies instead of assuming filming is welcome.

Those small steps make it easier to enjoy the event and let the musicians hold the room.

🗓 Two dates, one local music plan

Choose the evening performance, the Sunday afternoon option, or both if your calendar has room.

Neither outing requires a trip into the city, and the contrasting programs offer two ways to spend time with live music close to home.

The library program page gathers the current concert listings alongside other adult activities.

The best next step is simple: check the details now, save the correct address, and give one of those October dates a place on your calendar.
