The JM Jazz World Orchestra is a project launched by Jeunesses Musicales International allowing young musicians from all around the world to take part in training sessions, workshops, and finally in a concert tour as a member of the JM Jazz Orchestra.
The session will be in summer 2024. JM Jazz World sessions begin with a week of rehearsals, followed by a 5-7 day international concert/festival tour spanning Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Italy.
The project will be under the artistic leadership of Luis Bonilla (USA), a California raised, Costa Rican trombonist, composer and arranger.
The programme is open to musicians between the ages of 18 and 26 playing: saxophone, trombone, trumpet, horn, tuba, guitar, bass, drums, percussion, piano and vocals and if you improvise, all other instruments are welcome. It is essential that you read sheet music, but the most important thing is your love for jazz!
