About the NH Youth Jazz Ensemble

A fast-paced, high-level jazz performance ensemble consisting of the areas’ top high-school (and the occasional middle-school) jazz musicians.This ensemble’s primary focus is on developing the student’s technique, improvisational skills and deepening their understanding of jazz. Challenging repertoire will include standard, classic and modern jazz charts. Besides great improvisers we seek strong classical performers with an interest in jazz as well.
