Now accepting members for 2021-22!
This is an in-person music program, held at the VSO School
Join a brand new big band, led by celebrated jazz musician Daniel Hersog. This ensemble will perform and explore jazz music in its many forms. Repertoire will be selected from the early works of Duke Ellington to contemporary jazz-rock fusion and even elements of free jazz. Students will perform repertoire by a wide variety of composers, including works composed and specially arranged by the Director.
To become a member of the Big Band, please record a short sample that is a good representation of your current playing level, and submit via online audio or video link (ie. YouTube, SoundCloud, etc.). Email a link to your video or audio file to markm@vsoschoolofmusic.ca, including your full name and date of birth.
The deadline to submit your audition is: Wednesday, September 15 by 5pm
Participants joining the ensemble mid-year will be offered a prorated fee.
