Jazz and Contemporary Music • MODERN TIMES ENSEMBLE • Working Rehearsal Workshop

This working rehearsal workshop by the  Modern Times: Collaborative & Improvised Film Scoring class is open to all, especially JCM and Composition students. See the ensemble’s work in progress in composing and arranging a structured improvisational score with a silent film.

Longy’s Jazz and Contemporary Music (JCM) program provides an open environment in which students experiment and create to find their artistic voice and gain the experience and versatility necessary for success in an ever-changing professional world. Engaging in improvisation, composition, and performance practices, untethered to any one discipline or genre, students will build off the foundations of jazz and explore beyond—to modern contemporary, global folk traditions, bluegrass, Rock, Hip Hop, as well as other popular idioms—to define the music of the now and the future.
