NY YOUTH SYMPHONY with Andy Clausen - Artistic Director, Jazz Conductor, Trombonist
This is Part 3 of my look at the New York Youth Symphony with this episode focusing on their jazz program.
Under the direction of Andy Clausen, the NYYS Jazz Band is a 17-member swing ensemble dedicated to studying, rehearsing, and performing classic big band jazz music. Modeled on the bands of the 1930's and 1940's, the Jazz program preserves this heritage and, keeping with jazz traditions, incorporates it into the current and emerging styles that define the genre for the present generation.
Andy is a New York-based composer, trombonist, bandleader, and graduate of The Juilliard School. Hailing from Seattle, Clausen relocated to NYC in 2010 where he enjoys a diverse schedule collaborating with filmmakers, folk and blues artists, classical composers, as well as New York's jazz elite. An active educator, Clausen has taught workshops across the United States.
