We are excited to announce the 2023 Lindenwood Jazz Festival!
The festival fees are $150 for each ensemble. This festival is evaluative, but not competitive. Evaluation will consist of the following:
- Comment Sheet from the 3 Adjudicators
- Downloadable recorded comments from the 3 adjudicators
- 25-minute clinic with one of the clinicians immediately following the performance
In addition to the performance and clinic, our clinicians will be offering master classes on various topics during the middle of the day. More info to come!
Questions? Please contact the festival directors - Dr. Matt Hoormann or Adam Donohue.
