The Alberta Jazz Ensemble

October 23-26, 2019
​Calgary, AB

The Alberta Jazz Ensemble is an auditioned jazz band open to high school aged students in the province of Alberta. It will provide an advanced performance experience for those students who demonstrate excellence in leadership, musicality and engagement as well as an interest and understanding of the jazz idiom.  North America's leading jazz educators will work with students in an intense rehearsal process and the experience will culminate in a performance at Music Conference Alberta. 

Admission to the Alberta Jazz Ensemble is by audition. A panel of Alberta music educators will evaluate the auditions and select the ensemble based on appropriate instrumentation and evaluation of the audition recordings and information provided by the auditionee.  If we do not have enough applications in one particular area, we may put out a secondary call for auditions to the band community to ensure the best possible instrumentation for the ensemble. Directors/Teachers are encouraged to recommend their students to audition and/or have their ensemble members complete an individual audition. 
​
The deadline to submit all audition recommendations and applications is May 3, 2019.
The deadline for receipt of all audition materials is May 24, 2019.


Teachers: Download the Audition Recommendation Letter and Intention to Audition Form to Give to Students
                  Recommend Instrumentalists for an Audition

Instrumentalists: Apply for an audition.
