Wednesday, September 11, 2024

BC Jazz Studies is happy to announce the return of the annual favorite Panorama Creative Music Summit, marking its 8th presentation. The annual event features a series of student workshops and presentations by visiting guest artists, culminating every year in a free public concert featuring the guest artist and BC Jazz student musicians.

This year's Summit invites Lauren Elizabeth Baba to our campus, a highly innovative musician and composer across many different genres, from commercial to experimental music. Lauren composes film scores, including Hidden Figures and Despicable Me 3, leads her experimental big band theBABAorchestra, and is even the violist for the acclaimed Vitamin String Quartet, among a great variety of other projects. Lauren will lead the BC Jazz Ensemble in several of her own big band jazz compositions, which is certain to make a splash of high energy and high creativity. You won't want to miss this free concert!

Concert is Wednesday, September 25 @ 7:00PM in the Indoor Theater on BC's Panorama Campus. Admission is free.
