Join us at BLU Jazz+ as we feature our area's top high school & collegiate jazz programs in a special concert series! This showcase will include performances by the talented groups from Ellet High School under the direction of Adam Grom!
Presented by the BLU Jazz+ Masterclass Foundation, our 3rd annual BLU Jazz+ Student All-Stars Concert Series continues as we feature the talented student ensembles from Ellet High School, under the direction of Adam Grom! Proceeds from this event are split between Ellet High School’s jazz program and the BLU Jazz+ Masterclass Foundation, so bring your friends and family out and show your support for these awesome local groups!
Jazz has long been a vital part of the Ellet High School Music experience and the Ellet Jazz Ensemble has had the pleasure of performing in festivals from Cleveland, Ohio to Louisville, Kentucky and places in between. The current Ensemble, mostly 9th and 10th graders, is a glimpse into the future of jazz at Ellet High School. We hope you enjoy hearing what these budding jazz artists are developing and we appreciate your support of their efforts.
