UC Jazz Ensembles is a student program dedicated to the performance, study, and promotion of jazz at UC Berkeley. UC Jazz is one of three groups, including the Cal Band and UC Choral Ensembles that comprise Student Musical Activities (SMA), a department within Cal Performances. These groups provide musical education, performance experience, and leadership and arts management opportunities to students from every academic discipline.
UC Jazz provides rehearsal space and instruction for six ensembles each year, composed primarily of Berkeley undergraduate and graduate students and community members from the Bay Area.
Currently UC Jazz consists of seven small combos and one big band; the small combos range in experience from beginning-intermediate to advanced.
UC Jazz is holding its annual benefit dinner and concert at the International House on November 13 this year, with the Advanced Combos and Big Band performing just steps away from the UC Berkeley campus. You can find full details, along with ticket purchase info, on the Support page. Hope to see you there!
UC Jazz now has a page on Facebook. Be sure to become a fan so that you can get updates on events and activities throughout the semester. Feel free to post any photos or videos you have of the ensembles in performance as well!
