The Wenatchee Jazz Workshop is celebrating its 25th year
Here's the scoop:
The Wenatchee Jazz Workshop is a local, non-profit organization devoted to bringing world-class jazz professionals to Wenatchee to spend a week teaching and inspiring Wenatchee and Eastmont jazz band students. This year we are happy to announce the return of the LA6: professional performers and educators from Los Angeles who have been the mainstay of the workshop for many years.
• When & Where: May 5-9, 205. Workshop sessions will be held at Wenatchee High School. Your band director will provide more information and a schedule when it becomes available.
• Concerts: Thursday, May 8 at Orchard Middle School and Friday, May 9 at Wenatchee High School. Tickets for family and friends are on sale now. You will have the option to buy online or at the door. The pros will be performing on Thursday night, tickets are by donation. They will also perform on Friday night with the schools. May 9 concert will be live-streamed.
• Student Obligations: regular attendance at jazz band; attend workshop sessions and rehearsals, perform at their concert and attend the alternate night’s concert. Questions about student participation and the workshop schedule: please contact your student’s band director.
• Family Donations: There is no charge for students to participate, however, donations are accepted and encouraged. The workshop is only partially funded by the two school districts. This unique opportunity would not be possible without the support of donors, sponsors, grants, ticket sales and volunteers. Thank you for helping in any way you can!
