The Wolfson Jazz Ensembles consist of multiple groups of exceptional music students. Past groups have paid tribute to jazz legends such as The Horace Silver group, named for the legendary pianist and composer, and The Blue Note group paying tribute to the famed jazz record label of numerous groundbreaking recordings.

These ensembles have historically included some of South Florida’s best emerging musicians. Over the years the ensembles have performed at jazz festivals in Switzerland, Italy and the Netherlands. The group has received DownBeat magazine awards in both composition and performance.

Notable alumni from these groups include Chicago-based saxophonist Rocky Year, New York saxophonist Hery Paz, Trinidad and Tobago multi-instrumentalist Shaquille Noel, guitarist Richard Padron, and pianist Kemuel Roig, formerly with Arturo Sandoval and Al Di Meola.

All three groups offer an evening of diverse jazz styles that have been greatly explored through intense individual practice and group rehearsals.

All concerts are free and open to the public. Live performances will take place at Wolfson Campus Auditorium, 300 N.E. Second Ave., Miami, FL 33132. Building 1, Room 1261. Performances will be livestreamed, except for the student ensembles.
