Sunday, March 30, 2025 at 01:00 am
March 30, 2025
*Doors 7pm | Concert 8pm * The JCC 2025 Composer in Residence Concert Series is based on rapid, intense composition and collaboration. Over just five days, new JCC Music Director Brian Haas will combine with world-renowned guests to compose, rehearse, and premiere a collection of new compositions at the New Orleans JCC. At the beginning of the week, the featured guest begins composing with Haas. As the week progresses, the two will be joined by band members to augment the ongoing compositional process. By Friday’s rehearsal, the entire band unites with a New Orleans rhythm section to bring this 75-minute composition to life. The week concludes with a Saturday night concert featuring the newly created works in an intimate setting. Aurora Nealand performs as the second 2025 Composer in Residence featuring Mike Dillon (Vibraphone), Elizabeth Sonenberg (Dance, Voice), James Singleton (Bass), Tanner Gus (Drums) and Brian Haas (Piano). Nealand’s work bridges traditional New Orleans jazz with experimental improvisation and storytelling through sound, drawing inspiration from movements like the AACM. She leads The Royal Roses, a band renowned for blending early jazz with unique soundscapes. Tickets $20 | Free for Ages 13 & Under
