The Jazz Composers’ Showcase features young composers conducting performances of their large ensemble works. Three featured composers share the same ensemble at each showcase, which allows them to overcome the financial hurdle of maintaining a large ensemble to perform their compositions. Curated by Miho Hazama, this showcase features Alex Heitlinger, Ben Lindenburg and Jonathan Saraga.
