The Jazz Institute of Chicago presents the Jazz in the Chi Regional Essentially Ellington Jazz Band Festival in partnership with the internationally recognized and acclaimed Jazz at Lincoln Center. Saturday, February 17, 2024.
Jazz in the Chi is an educational festival open to high, middle and elementary school jazz bands. All participants perform a short set of music and then receive a post-performance clinic from the panel of professional adjudicators. Written and recorded feedback from the adjudicators helps each participating band continue to grow long after the festival! Workshops, jam sessions, performances by guest artists and a vendor fair with colleges, arts organizations and music merchants are designed to provide an immersive experience that benefits every participant.
This is open to participants and their families only.
The location of Jazz in the Chi will be announced soon.
