Symphonic Jazz is an innovative hybrid form of music blending the worlds of jazz and classical music. Members of the Symphonic Jazz Orchestra (SJO) will provide students with a workshop video on the history of jazz and a recording of a socially distanced performance. From counting out rhythms, to introducing instruments, to learning about the history of blues music, SJO inspires students to learn about the world around them and to question, create, and express. The Symphonic Jazz Orchestra has served over 65,000 young people and their families across Los Angeles County.
