The JSYB is led by a team of some of Sudbury's finest musicians and educators. These passionate directors inspire and prepare the ensemble for performances and festivals. They foster strong musicianship skills and leadership in all members and are building the foundation of the future of Sudbury's professional musicians. 

The 2023-24 JSYB is led by Marc Taillefer, Brittany Goldsborough, and Peter Scherzinger. The Jazz Sudbury liaisons are Allan Walsh and Carolyn Otto.

All members are required to audition for this ensemble. Material for auditions is linked on this website.

Auditions are a chance to demonstrate your skills to the directors, to chat, and to get to know your goals and past experiences. 

It is a low-pressure, low-stress, informal getting to know, and hear you, audition.

We aim to provide a diverse musical experience within an inclusive environment that develops creativity and leadership in our youth while fostering a love for music and providing opportunities for artistic expression in a safe environment.
