Monks presents International Jazz Day featuring Austin Youth Jazz Orchestra/Haslanger/Sailors 6:00PM
We are collaborating with Monks Jazz Club to provide this special event.
AUSTIN YOUTH JAZZ ORCHESTRA
- Austin Youth Jazz Orchestra
-- Director Dr. Diego Rivera
- Elias Haslanger - Saxophone
- Mike Sailors - Trumpet
Monk’s Jazz welcomes the Austin Youth Jazz Orchestra plus Elias Haslanger/Mike Sailors Quintet for an evening of great Jazz. Sponsored by the Austin Jazz Society, the Austin Youth Jazz Orchestra is under the direction of premier saxophonist and jazz educator Diego Rivera.
This special event celebrates the musical art form and the importance of encouraging young performers to explore, find their voice and excel in it. Central Texas is fortunate to have a thriving live jazz scene and new students coming into that scene are a testament to the welcoming landscape and strong mentoring environment here. We’re proud to celebrate this legacy along with the rest of the world’s thriving jazz communities.
