The Jazz Composers’ Showcase features emerging composers representing performances of their large ensemble works. The Jazz Gallery will present three composers featured at each showcase. Three composers share the same ensemble at each showcase, which allows them to overcome the financial hurdle of maintaining a large ensemble to perform their compositions. Curated by Miho Hazama.
