About The Band
The award-winning Triangle Youth Jazz Ensemble (TYJE), based in Raleigh and directed by Dr. Gregg Gelb, is one of the premier high school jazz ensembles in the country. Open to advanced musicians in grades 9–12, TYJE provides an opportunity to study and perform big band jazz at a high level in a professional setting. The ensemble regularly performs at festivals, celebrations, and concert halls across the North Carolina Triangle. TYJE has been selected as a finalist in Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Essentially Ellington Festival eight times, placing them among the top 15 high school jazz bands in the nation. This year, they earned a prestigious invitation to perform at the MidWest Clinic, an international music education conference attended by over 20,000 musicians and educators annually.
This March 23 the Triangle Jazz Youth Ensemble will be performing in a virtual Battle of The Bands spanning half the nation. Performing as the opening event in the Renaissance Music Series their music will be livestreamed to a venue in Texas. There the Greater Dallas Youth Jazz Orchestra will watch it. Then they will perform their show which will be livestreamed back to Raleigh.
There will be no losers, only winners in this battle. The winners are those that get to hear and see it.
