About the event
Ready for a swingin' good time? Join the Durham Jazz Workshop Youth Jazz Orchestra for an hour of music for the whole family! They will be playing big band/swing, a Latin tune, a couple ballads, and even a Hank Williams song (done in a New Orleans style). The band consists of 15 student players: five saxophones (two altos, two tenors, one baritone), three trombones, four trumpets, and piano, bass, flute, and drums. The students all come from local music programs (Durham, Orange and Chatham counties) and are middle- and high- school students.
Fun is guaranteed, so you won't want to miss this! Registration is appreciated but not required, plus you will get an email reminder two days before. All ages are welcome. Have questions? Email raivynnsmith@dconc.gov.
