The New York Youth Symphony’s Jazz Band is considered by many to be one of the best ensembles of its kind. The members of this group range from age 12 to 22, making the quality of their sound even more astonishing. In an effort to preserve jazz traditions and styles, the ensemble focuses on the music of the 1930s and 1940s big band orchestras in addition to contemporary pieces.
While celebrating the heritage of jazz, the group also values a progressive, emerging new sound. This show–featuring the GRAMMY® Award-winning trombonist Luis Bonilla, often a headliner with his own group–will at once be a tribute to one of the greatest composers in jazz history, Billy Strayhorn, and an exciting glimpse at the future of jazz, led by some of the most talented young musicians in the New York area.
