Prepare for an afternoon of fun as the future stars of jazz in Scotland – and beyond – demonstrate their instrumental skills to get your toes tapping – suitable for the whole family.

Formed in 2002, the Scottish National Youth Jazz Orchestra gives Scotland’s best young jazz talents a grounding in the work of jazz masters from Ellington to Corea, from Basie to Shorter and from Miles to Metheny, the SNYJO has advanced the musicianship of over one hundred and thirty young players.

Past members include winners of the Scottish Album of the Year Award, the BBC Young Jazz Musician title and the Young Scottish Jazz Musician of the Year competition and have registered successes in the Scottish Jazz Awards and the Jazz FM Awards and nominations in the Mercury Prize.
