Jazz Orchestra Project
Calling all string players!
Dig in to jazz concepts, instrumental improvisation, and jazz feel by playing music arranged by David Marriott Jr. and other great composer/arrangers, in a “string big band” setting, with a full jazz rhythm section.
Rehearsals will take place on Thursdays (see schedule below), and will conclude with an exciting performance at The Royal Room in Columbia City.
This ensemble is geared for intermediate to advanced players of all stringed instruments who are in upper grades (7-12). No jazz experience is necessary. Come with an open mind and an expectation of fun times ahead!
Registration is closed.
