Workshop2Ensemble
Create
Workshop2Ensemble is a project to create a nonet which will play transcribed arrangements from various composers including Bobby Paunetto as well as original compositions. The repertoire will span Latin/Brazilian/Straight Ahead Jazz, Funk, and Salsa.
Recruit
I am looking for seasoned intermediate/advanced musicians including 2 trumpets, tenor sax, alto sax, trombone, bass, piano and drums. Musicians should have experience playing written parts and improvising in a big band or other similar academic or professional setting.
Commit
The repertoire will require the group to rehearse. The rehearsal schedule will be flexible but Monday night seems to be the best day for everyone. The location will be in Elmsford, New York in Westchester County or NYC. A $10 to $20 per musician/session fee may be charged to cover rehearsal studio costs.
Perform
The nonet will develop the required competency to be concert ready.
