New for 2023-2024, our Hertfordshire County Youth Jazz Collective is a student Jazz community for musicians up to the age of 21, who can typically play at grade 5 or equivalent standard. Open to a range of Brass, Woodwind, and Rhythm Section instruments, members have the opportunity to work in a variety of large and small ensembles.
