The workshop, lead by Brian Landrus, will feature ensemble performance, solo improvisation, technique, and more. Landrus, an outstanding nationally recognized artist, was born and raised in Nevada and earned his Bachelor’s Degree at UNR. He went on to earn degrees in jazz composition and jazz saxophone from the New England Conservancy. He has toured the world with jazz superstars such as Esperanza Spalding and played in the Gil Evans Project, founded the recording label BlueLand to release his original music, and has received widespread recognition and awards, including several Rising Star awards from Downbeat magazine. Landrus is performing two of his original compositions in his first appearance with the Carson City Symphony on February 28.
The All Ages Jazz Workshop is a partnership between the Mile High Jazz Band Association and the Carson City School District, and is funded in part by a grant from the Nevada Arts Council.
