The New Trier Jazz Festival has been copied, but never
duplicated!
Our festival was the first high school festival to...
To
offer
scholarships to summer jazz camps to outstanding students ($96,000
in total scholarships actually used by students to attend
camps with over 15 camps participating in our awards program)...
To be broadcast live on the INTERNET and television/radio for more
than 14 hours...
To have a website with ONLINE registration...
To provide a sight-reading big band for all festival
participants...
To provide bands that perform on stage a CD of their performance
mixed using more than 38 microphones...
To be completely paperless, thus making communication with
directors faster and more accurate...
To provide workshops on careers in music and other special
interest topics...
Annual evening concerts by the world's greatest jazz big bands
from far outside of the Chicago area (to
see the list)...
...and many more special offerings for almost a quarter century!
Our festival has been called by Downbeat magazine, "Perhaps
the most educational high school jazz festival anywhere."
The
New Trier Jazz Festival was started in 1982 to help keep the tradition of Big Band Jazz
alive. Using a non-competitive format, the four primary purposes of the festival are
to provide high school and junior high jazz musicians with...
An opportunity to
perform for, and be critiqued by, some of this country's most outstanding jazz
educators;
An opportunity to
attend clinics on performance techniques, music careers, jazz improvisation, and other
topics of interest by leading jazz professionals;
An opportunity for
student musicians to be individually recognized by the awarding of certificates and
other awards;
An opportunity to
attend concerts by some of the world's greatest jazz artists and big
bands.
