The WSU jazz ensemble is an elite group of outstanding musicians selected by audition each fall semester. This 18-piece group performs both traditional and contemporary jazz in all styles from concert jazz to dance music.

The jazz ensemble is one of the most active groups on campus performing several times each year. Many of the concerts feature guest artists from the U.S. and abroad who perform with and clinic the band providing additional instruction opportunities for students.

The WSU jazz ensemble makes frequent appearances at jazz festivals throughout the U.S. and also tours throughout the tri-state region performing at area schools.

For further information about the jazz ensembles at WSU, please contact Dr. R. Richard MacDonald.
