CCM Jazz Orchestra
Scott Belck, conductor

CCM is honored to host its first annual “Essentially Ellington Festival” (sponsored by Wynton Marsalis’s Jazz at Lincoln Center)—a daylong event featuring the region’s top high school jazz ensembles. The gala concert will feature the competition’s Outstanding Ensemble winner as opening act, with the CCM Jazz Orchestra following with a performance featuring a very special guest from the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
