Our jazz program is among the best in the country. The Jazz Band has taken its act to (among other places) England, France, Germany, Romania, Belgium, Italy, Greece, Canada, Indonesia, the Bahamas, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. Its director, Doug Beach, is the winner of a Grammy Award. He’s also the brains behind our legendary Jazz Festival. For three nights in February, a remarkable roster of professional musicians assembles in our chapel to hear and oΩer advice to the nation’s top college jazz bands. The jazz greats cap each night with feature performances. It gives the whole campus a rare chance to hear stellar musicians up close. www.elmhurst.edu/music 56
