NEW ZEALAND HIGH SCHOOLS

JAZZ ORCHESTRA

Returning again to Expressions following last year’s very successful concert, the New Zealand High Schools’ Jazz Orchestra will perform in concert under Musical Director Vaughn Roberts, one of New Zealand ’s foremost musicians and arrangers.

The orchestra, selected by audition New Zealand wide, includes the very best of the country’s jazz musicians. This year’s orchestra has a number of musicians from Wellington secondary schools including Hutt Valley High School , Onslow College , St Mary’s College, Tawa College and Wellington College .

Last year’s programme featured jazz arrangements of several New Zealand pop and traditional tunes. With Vaughn Roberts back again as Musical Director this year’s programme will feature more of Vaughn’s exciting arrangements.

If you enjoy big band music then this orchestra will provide you with a musical experience you will not forget. While young, all the orchestra members display exceptional talent. The feedback from last year’s audience was that they were amazed at the standard of music and the enthusiasm and maturity shown by these young musicians. This is a concert not to be missed.
