Manhattan School of Music brings its Jazz Chamber Orchestra to Dizzy's Club for a program built entirely around brand-new works by MSM Jazz Arts composition students. Matt Holman leads the ensemble, with Mark Shim and Scott Wendholt featured. Rather than revisiting established repertoire, the concert is framed as a debut for the students’ new pieces, presenting fresh sounds and bold ideas through the orchestra.
The Jazz Chamber Orchestra appearance places the school’s student composers alongside an ensemble led by Holman and featuring Shim and Wendholt. The evening focuses on current work from MSM Jazz Arts rather than a named historical program or tribute, making the composers’ first public presentations the point of the set. Dizzy's Club is part of Jazz at Lincoln Center and holds about 140 people, with views over Central Park and the Manhattan skyline. The venue regularly presents live jazz in a setting designed for focused listening, with a full bar and seasonal menu available during performances.
