The ensemble will consist of up to four rhythm section (bass, drums, piano, guitar) up to four horns (trumpet, saxophone, trombone, flute, clarinet) and one singer.

We are excited to have special guests attend rehearsals and perform with this ensemble throughout the season. The PECYJE is open to any young musician under 20 years of age, and all are invited to audition.
