| | | | Presenting THE YUPPETS: Abbie, Caroline, Jodi, Orion, Ruby, -- MCMA's 2024 Jazz Intensive Campers! Led by MCMA instructors Amory Raymond and Chris Pert, these student musicians delved into all things jazz, leaning into a holistic exploration of the genre as they listened, played, improvised, created, and recorded. Plus, they delivered a stellar performance at Rockville Community Chapel (followed by an MCMA faculty jazz performance by Dan Wenger, Amory Raymond, and Chris Pert). We are so proud of these students' commitment to keep the spirit of jazz alive, and so impressed by their musicianship and collaboration! | | | | | | | It's time to plan this year's musical journey!
