Eastman Jazz Orchestra

Jazz Ensemble, New Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Lab Band. A multifaceted collection of jazz 'big band' experiences that incorporate the study and presentation of jazz from historically significant repertory to new works composed by Eastman student writers. Ensembles accompany renowned jazz soloists, showcase the music of the finest jazz composers and arrangers, and present educational events for audiences across the country. Seating is determined by auditions in the fall. The 70-piece Studio Orchestra (combining Jazz Ensemble and Philharmonia/ESSO for three weeks annually) is periodically organized by assignment; no pre-enrollment is required. Same as 6ENS 400J, but for no credit and no charge.
