About
The New England Jazz Collaborative (NEJC) is a Cambridge-based composers’ collective and orchestra project. Founded in 2021, it has quickly established itself as a major local cultural force, featuring many of the top composers and musicians in the region.
NEJC Priorities:
- Increase opportunities for jazz orchestra composers and arrangers to have their music read, performed and recorded.
- Create a community of like-minded artists to collaborate, exchange ideas, and share resources.
- Promote large ensemble jazz and new music to a wider audience through educational outreach and innovative programming.
- Forge new connections between New England’s vibrant arts and education sectors by having NEJC act as a creative and cultural hub.
- Embody the diversity of the region through a deep commitment to representation in all its forms.
