We are always on the lookout for
new players
The band runs from late September to June each year. We occasionally have vacancies during the year, so feel free to get in touch with us at any time if you’re interested in joining the band.
Leeds Jazz Orchestra will be holding auditions on Thursday, September 27th 2018 at Heart in Headingley from 7-9pm. Over 18s only please and about Grade 6/7 standard or its equivalent.
To book your place and let us know you’re coming, please email us on jazz@leedsjazzorchestra.com
Leeds Jazz Orchestra is a not-for-profit organisation so in order to cover expenses such as room hire, MD fee, Public Liability Insurance etc, there is an annual membership fee of £60 per term. For people joining after the start of the year the fee is charged pro rata. We have 3 terms per year with a total of 30 rehearsals.
Spaces for the following:
Piano
Trumpet
Trombone

Tenor Saxophone
Baritone Saxophone
The audition process is very informal. It’s simply a
question of sitting in with the band and playing with
us. You may be asked to play a solo along with the
rhythm section, but this is optional and you don’t
have to play like Charlie Parker – just be willing to
give it a go.
You should be over 18 and about Grade 6/7 (or have
equivalent experience). You will need your
instrument and a music stand. Drum kit (no
cymbals) are provided at our rehearsal venue which is
