Jazz Combo Day
Event Cancelation
Our top priority at NIU is the health and well-being of our campus community. In response to the rapidly changing developments related to Coronavirus (COVID-19), we have made the decision to cancel Jazz Combo Day for 2021. This event will return in the spring of 2022.
Jazz Combo Day is for individual high school jazz players. It gives you the opportunity to play with the area's best high school musicians and to meet accomplished NIU faculty members and guest artists. The event takes place in the Music Building.
You must audition or be invited in order to attend. If accepted, you will participate in one of several combos at the event. The day includes a dinner, followed by performances by the student combos. The event ends with a concert by NIU faculty members.
