The salons are designed to be accessible to our diverse community, offering a unique opportunity for students and adults alike to experience the music and story of jazz.

 

Drew Zaremba’s leadership as Artistic Director of the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra (CJRO) over the past four years has been pivotal in the orchestra’s growth and evolution. His extensive contributions to the jazz world—ranging from composing and performing with leading orchestras and big bands to his educational endeavors—have uniquely shaped the CJRO’s artistic direction. One of Zaremba’s key missions has been to broaden the CJRO’s programming, while actively collaborating with local Colorado composers to bring fresh, innovative works to the orchestra’s repertoire. This new jazz salon is a shining example of Drew’s vision for the orchestra through innovative programs.
