Thank you for your interest in the 2023 Gem State Jazz Camp! This is a summer instrumental jazz day camp for Middle and High School students. It is hosted by local music educators and professional jazz musicians, David Gluck, Jimmy Lawrence, Jared Sene, Alex Lardie, and Phil Hoesing!
Students will have fun learning what it takes to be a musician in a small jazz combo, and they'll be more than ready to take on the challenges of studying jazz in their school! Our camp kick-off will begin with a faculty performance.
