Announcing the 2012 Performer & Clinician list!

The following list of clinicians and clinic titles, pro performers, school and community ensembles, and soloists have been invited to appear at the upcoming 2012 Third Annual Conference in Louisville, KY.  We are proud to present to you another exciting lineup for the 2012 event!  

As artists begin to accept their invitation to appear over the next few weeks, bios, photos, and descriptions for each of the performers and clinicians will be linked for your review as they become available to us and as time allows. Check back often to stay informed!

The complete schedule for the conference will be finalized and posted as soon as possible but no later than October 1st. We look forward to seeing you in Louisville for yet another Outstanding Conference!  

In the meantime, you should know the conference begins with a Louisville Focus evening concert from 8pm-11pm on Wednesday, January 4th that you will not want to miss! We have an exciting lineup followed by the now-famed JEN Network Hang in the Conservatory area of the hotel. For those that prefer more formal late night concerts, we have added an 11:30pm concert each evening by some outstanding pro groups for your enjoyment, along with the student jam sessions beginning on Thursday night. This year's event features over 90 concerts on five stages, 60 clinics in four rooms, plus the TI:ME (Technology Institute for Music Educators) Concurrent Conference, offering four rooms of technology-based clinics and sessions, and the Jazz Arts Group of Columbus Jazz Arts Initiative Research Track, all running simultaneously to bring to you 3.5 glorious days in celebration of jazz and jazz education!

Due to scheduling issues that may arise, clinicians and performers are subject to change. The Jazz Education Network reserves the right to make program changes as necessary in that regard.
