Big Band Junior is composed by a group of 20 to 25 students*, under Claus Nymark musical direction. The students’ selection will be made through auditions, to be held from 20 to 24 September 2010.
The school orchestra Big Band Junior develops its activities between 4 October 2010 and 27 June 2011, respecting the tuition and vacations periods established by the school academic calendar. Lessons take place once a week, at Luiz Villas Boas Jazz School – Hot Club de Portugal (located in Lisbon Metropolitan Orchestra’s same building, close to the Rua da Junqueira in Alcântara).
Since the performative component is an essential part of the training activity for any musician, three concerts are already scheduled in the CCB Small Auditorium in 2011: 19 February, 16 April and 4 June. The second concert is include in Music Days in Belém Festival.
