SUMMARY:Asian Youth Jazz Orchestra Auditions
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=".vc_custom_1655798096413{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}"][vc_column width="1/6"][/vc_column][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]\nThe Japan Foundation Asia Centre is giving budding musicians in Southeast Asia a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join a full-fledged orchestra on a tour of the region and Japan.\nThe inaugural edition of the Asian Youth Jazz Orchestra will kickstart a long-term aim towards building a collaborative platform for young musicians in the pursuit of future possibilities in Asian music. To this end\, jazz was chosen due to its improvisational nature.
