The second Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute (JCOI) heads west!
August 7-11, 2012 at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music

The American Composers Orchestra (ACO) and the Center for Jazz Studies at Columbia University (CJS), in cooperation with The UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music, and EarShot, the National Orchestra Composition Discovery Network, will present the second Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute (JCOI) from August 7-11, 2012 at UCLA.
JCOI brings together 38 jazz composers at various stages in their careers chosen from a national pool of applicants, to explore the challenges of writing for the symphony orchestra. Composers working in jazz, improvised, and creative music have been selected based on their excellent musicianship, originality, and potential for future growth in orchestral composition.
The second JCOI was made possible by the generous support of the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Awards Continuing Innovation Grant, from The Herb Alpert Foundation, and from the Fromm Music Foundation to the Center for Jazz Studies and American Composers Orchestra.
