Who can participate in the JUGENDJAZZORCHESTER.CH?
The JJO is aimed at talented musicians between the ages of 16 and 25 who already play music at a high level, either instrumentally or vocally. It doesn’t matter if you are a student without/with connection to a specific talent development program, a PreCollege participant or already studying music at a university. Ideally, you should have some prior knowledge of jazz. More important, however, is your curiosity about large-format ensemble playing and the will to contribute your personal expression to the collective and to improvise. All instruments – even “jazz untypical” ones – are welcome.

When and where does the project take place?
The JJO meets in the winter and concludes each session with a tour the following February/March. There are 3 rehearsal weekends (two of them extended) and one rehearsal week. This is followed by the tour, which takes place over a period of approximately 10 days.
All rehearsals will take place at the Jazzcampus Basel, unless otherwise communicated. The venues of the nationwide tour may change from year to year.
