RSMI’s Program for Jazz is a one-week intensive, focused on composition and small-group collaboration. From the moment they arrive, the 15 fellows spend their days rehearsing in different combos, studying composition and workshopping pieces with the illustrious faculty, and learning how to adapt to performing with ever-changing personnel. By mid-week, fellows are assigned their final quintets, each led by a member of the jazz faculty. At the end of their residency, musicians get to premiere their original works on the Bennett Gordon Hall stage.

This is the first of three Ravinia Steans Musician Institute Concerts.
