PRINCE Edward County Jazz Festival
Youth Ensemble
The Prince Edward County Jazz Festival is excited to announce the expansion of their youth education programs with the creation of the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival Youth Ensemble (PECJYE). The PECYJE will provide outstanding high school musicians the opportunity to further develop their musicianship through rehearsing and performing in a small jazz ensemble. 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.
For 2019 the PECYJE will rehearse two Monday evenings a month in Belleville at Centennial Secondary School, starting the beginning of April and ending at the completion of the 2019 PEC Jazz Festival August 18th. The ensemble will rehearse under the direction of Blair Yarranton.
The PECJYE will have many performance opportunities throughout the spring and summer and will perform at the 2019 PEC Jazz Festival, August 13th-18th. We are excited to have special guests attend rehearsals and perform with this ensemble throughout the season. The goal will
be to have the ensemble record near the end of the summer at Pinnacle Music in Belleville. The PECYJE is open to any high school aged student and all are invited to audition.
The fee to participate in this ensemble is $200.
Auditions will take place on Monday, February 25th between 7pm and 9pm in the music room at Centennial Secondary School (160 Palmer Road) in Belleville. To book an audition please email pecjazzfestival@gmail.com
