Prince   Edward   County  Jazz   Festival

PRINCE   Edward   County   Jazz   Festival  
Youth   Ensemble

​The Prince Edward County Jazz Festival is excited to announce the reinstatement of the Prince Edward County Jazz Festival Youth Ensemble (PECJYE) for 2022/23. 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 2022/23 the PECYJE will rehearse two evenings a month in Belleville at Centennial Secondary School, starting in October and ending at the completion of the 2023 PEC Jazz Festival in August. 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 2023 PEC Jazz Festival. 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.

The fee to participate in this ensemble is $350, which will be separated into two instalments.

Auditions can take place in person at Centennial Secondary School (160 Palmer Road) in Belleville, date TBA (September), or by submitting a video). To book an audition, please email pecjazzfestival@gmail.com
