For the second straight year the Jazz Institute of Chicago and the
Chicago Park District will run a youth summer program that pays young
jazz musicians to learn from world class jazz musicians and perform
throughout the city.
This 6 week program runs from July 27th through September 5th, with
a number of concerts presented including a culminating performance at
the Chicago Jazz Festival.
The students will work with Willie Pickens, Pat Mallinger, and Lorin
Cohen over the course of 6 weeks, giving them a broad range of
experience and input on their musicianship and ensemble work.
We are auditioning musicians to fill 10 seats, and the musicians will
be paid employees of the Chicago Park District for the duration of the
program.
Auditions for the JIC/CPD Summer Program will be held on Monday, May
4th and Wednesday May 6th, from 5-8pm at the Fine Arts Building/410 S.
Michigan Avenue/Room 838.
