Student and Faculty Chosen to Represent A-JAM at International Jazz Meeting in Siena

Exciting news! This year's International Jazz Meeting, presented by the International Association of Schools of Jazz (IASJ) will be held in beautiful Siena, Italy from July 8-15, 2017. This is the "jewel in the crown" of the A-JAM program; the moment when our students and world-class adjunct faculty gain access to the incredible global field of jazz performance and education.

More exciting than that is that our student, Palo Alto College drummer Liam Dixon, and his applied teacher, Adjunct Instructor and drummer Joe Caploe, have been chosen to represent the Alamo Colleges at this prestigious annual event.

Please join us in congratulating Liam and Joe, and stay tuned for upcoming local events prior to the International Jazz Meeting. Read more about this fantastic meeting here.

Intercollegiate, intercultural, and intergenerational, the A-JAM mentorship program is open to music majors in any of San Antonio's five Alamo Colleges. Auditions are held each November. During the spring semester, A-JAM honorees perform locally and are coached by regional professionals and visiting artists. One lucky student is invited to the unique annual international jazz meeting of the International Association of Schools of jazz (IASJ) in June, where s/he performs with fellow students from all over the world for one intensive week. The meetings are held at a different host school each year. Singer Jeané Gaines, Northwest Vista College, participated in the IASJ meeting in São Paulo, Brazil in 2011 as the first A-JAM grand honor awardee. You could be next!
