Next month, the Northwood High School Jazz Ensemble will compete in  the internationally recognized Disney Jazz Celebration in Orlando,  Florida. The festival will be judged by jazz giants from across the  globe, and Northwood student musicians will participate in jam  sessions and clinics with these musicians as well as receiving  ratings, comments and scores.

To prepare for the festival, the Jazz Ensemble will present a special  concert for the community on Tuesday, February 9, at 7 p.m. at  Northwood’s newly renovated Benjamin J. Lee Auditorium.

“We have the opportunity to bring the Touring Glenn Miller Orchestra  as performers, guest artists and clinicians. This may be a once in a  lifetime chance for the members of the Pittsboro community to enjoy  this exceptional ensemble,” explained Eugene Cottrell, director of  Northwood’s Instrumental Music Program. The NHS Jazz Ensemble will  also perform at the concert.

Tickets are available online until January 26 and thereafter, if any  tickets remain, at the door. Reserved seats are $10 and General  Admission is only $5. Profits will underwrite the Jazz Ensemble trip  for Florida. NHS is grateful for partial funding for the Glenn Miller  Orchestra provided by ChathamArts & Briar Chapel.
