SUMMER JAZZ PROGRAMS
Below you will find links and info about summer jazz programs that I highly recommend. Through the years, these programs have demonstrated strong student and faculty commitment and have successfully served our own students year after year. It's always a good idea to ask around to get info from those who have attended such programs so you can make a well informed decision. Recommendation letters from me must be requested in writing well in advance! Good luck!

NYO JAZZ at CARNEGIE HALL 2018
Thank you for your interest in NYO Jazz, a new tuition-free program of Carnegie Hall’s Weill Music Institute. NYO Jazz, an extension of the National Youth Orchestra of the United States of America and NYO2, will bring together gifted young jazz musicians from across the country to collaborate on a uniquely American musical genre and share the results with international audiences.
The first summer of NYO Jazz will take place from July 14 to approximately August 10, 2018. Before embarking on a European tour, the members of NYO Jazz will spend two weeks on the campus of Purchase College, SUNY located in Westchester County just north of New York City. The residency will focus on preparing big band repertoire but will also include combo experience and individual/small group instruction, as well as social and recreational time. NYO Jazz participants will study with and learn from world-class jazz musicians including trumpet player Sean Jones. One of the field’s outstanding performer-composer-educators, Jones will be the soloist and bandleader for NYO Jazz’s Carnegie Hall debut and inaugural European tour in 2018.
For an introduction to the program we invite you to watch this video or visit our website for additional details.
Application information and audition requirements can be found here. The deadline for applications is Thursday, February 1, 2018.
We are here to help if you have any questions about NYO Jazz or the application/audition process. Please contact us at [email protected] or 212-424-2024. We are all looking forward to this new endeavor and appreciate your interest!
