Join us for an evening of performances by two top Jazzschool Institute groups!

The Jazzschool Insitute Jazz Orchestra, under the direction of Keith Johnson, is dedicated to hard-swinging classic and cutting-edge contemporary big band music. A traditional big band format, the ensemble is comprised of a rhythm section (piano, bass, drums, guitar) and a horn section with up to twelve students.

Under the direction of Grammy-nominated pianist and composer Art Lande, the Improvised Music Ensemble explores the realm of free improvisation, focusing on communication between musicians and the creation of meaningful compositional structure in the moment. This group features Madison Bohrer (sax), Ruthie Dineen (piano), Yehudit Lieberman (electric violin), Dillon Vado (drums and vibes), and Art Lande (melodica and percussion).
