TJYO Concert

Join us for the inaugural concert of this dynamic new 20-piece big band, featuring some of the most talented young jazz musicians from across Northwest Ohio. Under the direction of Dr. Dave Kosmyna, these rising artists bring the energy, swing, and spirit of America’s art form to the stage in a performance that celebrates both tradition and the future of jazz. This landmark concert marks the launch of the Toledo Jazz Youth Orchestra, an ensemble dedicated to artistry, education, and fun—and it’s a performance you won’t want to miss as the next generation of jazz takes the spotlight at the Toledo Center for Live Arts.
