Jazz Ensemble Fall Concert

Directed by Shawn Costantino, the Jazz Ensemble meets weekly to rehearse, learn basic jazz theory, and practice improvisational skills. Jazz enables people of diverse cultures, nationalities, and backgrounds to come together and communicate through the common language of music. Regularly playing to a full house, the ensemble brings the best of jazz to Bird Studio once every semester, with past performances including music by Cole Porter, Dizzy Gillespie, Thad Jones, Wayne Shorter, Joe Henderson, Henry Mancini, Stevie Wonder, and many others.
