We're starting something new this year.

First Tuesdays will be the first Tuesday of each month. We invite TU music alumni to join the TU Jazz Orchestra rehearsal at 5:30 playing side by side with the current band.

Then at 7:30, we'll have a jam session for all that want to participate. We hope this will help connect our current students and recent graduates!
