World Class Jazz in Your Backyard. Since 2003

What's new

Thanks to all who joined us for our sold out January 30th performance. Next up: we will premiere our first original commission, being written by artistic director Mike Holober, on April 10. Purchase tickets now.

Thank you for helping us meet our challenge ! Many of you responded to our call for new or increased donations, allowing us to reach $5,000, the maximum amount that Westchester County, through ArtsWestchester, will match. Thank you.

Our Nov 3 seminar for teachers, "Rehearsing and Conducting the High School Jazz Band," was a great success. "One of the best workshops I have ever gone to," raved one band director. We hope to offer this class again next year. Read description of workshop and teacher comments .
