Ensembles
Dixieland Jazz
Our Dixieland jazz ensemble - or Dixieband - performs a style of jazz that developed in New Orleans at the start of the 20th century, and
spread to Chicago and New York City in the 1910's. Dixieland jazz combined brass band marches, French Quadrilles, ragtime, and blues
with collective, polyphonic improvisation by trumpet (or cornet), trombone, and clarinet over a "rhythm section" of piano, drums, and a
double bass or tuba.
The Dixieland jazz ensemble is available for performances throughout the year. Email us at [email protected]

Woodwind Ensemble
Our woodwind ensemble performs music composed or arranged for small groups of woodwind instruments. These pieces are for groups of three to ten instruments and encompass music from the Baroque era to the 20th century. This type of music grew in popularity in 18th century Viennese courts, and has become a significant genre of music for woodwind players.
