The multi award winning Ulster Youth Jazz Orchestra was formed in 1993 after a series of workshops held at the Crescent Arts Centre by Ken Jordan.
The orchestra is made up of some of the best young musicians in Northern Ireland with many of today’s established local musicians having cut their teeth with the ensemble.
Fresh from last year’s concerts which included opening for the Ulster Orchestra, this afternoon concert in the MAC will include music from Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Oliver Nelson and Kenny Wheeler alongside classic big band swing featuring a range of vocalists and instrumental soloists.
The MAC is a charity dedicated to creativity, culture, and connection - every £1.50 we make goes directly into supporting our transformative arts and community programmes. Therefore a booking fee of £1.50 per ticket* will apply to all bookings made through our website and over the phone.
*There is no booking fee charge for bookings made in person, free events, school groups, community groups, personal assistant tickets and 16-25 member tickets.
