Four jazz nonets blend the sounds of big band with small-group performance to kick off the Jazz Spectacular series.

Three jazz orchestras perform swing and classics from jazz masters, inviting the audience to dance in this energetic concert.

High school jazz bands compete performing Duke Ellington and other big band classics for Jazz at Lincoln Center clinicians and professionals. Winners perform in the finale concert and advance to the competition’s next phase in New York.

This spectacular finale features the MSU’s Professors of Jazz, Jazz Orchestra I, the Outstanding High School Band of the Day, and special guest, award-winning baritone saxophonist Lauren Sevian.

Enjoy an afternoon of tuba and euphonium music, featuring solos, quartets, an 18-member ensemble, and a special Alumni performance, celebrating Professor Philip Sinder’s 43 years at MSU.
