Youth ages 14 to 22 work with some of the Region's finest jazz musicians in a series of workshops, focusing on various aspects of jazz improvisation and performance. The residency ends with a performance at the Jazz Festival.
The residency is provided on a scholarship basis requiring only an audition so we can place each student appropriately.
