A quintet of PJCE musicians perform music by the 2024 cohort of Young Jazz Composers! Join us at Alberta Street Pub to hear original music by new composers written with the guidance of professional mentors and performers.

The Young Jazz Composers program is a mentorship and performance opportunity for students to learn the ins and outs of composing for a professional jazz ensemble. Through one-on-one private lessons and professional group feedback, students will gain valuable insight into the idiosyncrasies of composing. By the end of the program, students will be able to understand the basic skills needed to compose a tune, use digital notation software, and correctly notate parts for rhythm section and horns.
