3-Day Big Band Mini
The Big Band Mini-Workshop aims to deepen your knowledge of large jazz ensemble performance during a concentrated time frame. John La Barbera – internationally respected jazz composer, arranger and director – has constructed a program that will provide participants an intensive performance experience, exploring numerous styles – traditional to contemporary. An ideal workshop is not only for educators looking to hone their skills, but also for those who love participating in big band section playing.
Admission will be limited in order to ensure balanced instrumentation for maximum experience.
