About The Ensemble...

The NSW Public Schools Jazz Orchestra is one of the states leading student big bands. As regular participants in the Generations in Jazz Festival held annually in Mt Gambier, the Jazz Orchestra has enjoyed great success and gained critical acclaim for their high standard of performance. The Jazz Orchestra undertakes a busy schedule of performances annually including appearances at the Sydney Opera House where it accompanies the spectacular massed recorders of the Festival of Instrumental Music and performs as a featured ensemble. The Jazz Orchestra also tours to regional NSW on a regular basis where it presents concerts and workshops to students in rural centres. Students in the Jazz Orchestra also have the opportunity to develop their improvisational skills and explore more diverse techniques and repertoire through participation in the smaller Jazz Ensemble.

 

The Jazz Orchestra rehearses on a weekly basis during the four school terms on a Tuesday afternoon from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm. Membership is by audition.
