All That Jazz is currently only available for Columbus City Schools. If additional dates or opportunities become available we will update that information here.
A Front-Row Education
All That Jazz introduces the magic of live jazz in a concert tailored especially for 4th grade students. The 18-piece Columbus Jazz Orchestra will play big band jazz standards and demonstrate elements of jazz in a lively and interactive concert.
The historic Southern Theatre serves as the perfect venue for this special performance, giving students a unique concert experience. Before the concert, teachers will receive interactive curriculum materials, including slides, videos, and audio recordings to deepen the learning connections and extend the fun.
