2015 MACJO ANNOUNCED

The Cumberland Jazz Society is pleased to announce that the 2015 Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Jazz Orchestra will be return to New York City for its annual January performance.  This year, they will heave the honor of presenting two sets at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola as part of the program at Jazz at Lincoln Center on Monday, January 5, 2015.

Adding to the excitement this year is the announcement that renowned trumpeter and educator Sean Jones will be leading this year's collection of talented up and coming jazz musicians.

Now in its seventh year, the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Jazz Orchestra has established itself as the premier collegiate all-star big band on the east coast.  With past performances in New Orleans, New York, and Washington DC, the band's members are among the finest up and coming jazz musicians and have represented more than thirty college and university jazz programs over the years. 

Undergraduate and Graduate College students enrolled in an institution offering jazz instruction are eligible, regardless of age.  Students are nominated by an instructor at their host institution, and are selected by a committee comprised of members of the Cumberland Jazz Society.  For information on nominating a student for the group, visit the 2015 MACJO tab.
