For more information, call the Caltech Music Office, 626-395-3295, or visit CalTech Bands.
Who They Are:
The Caltech-Occidental Concert Band and the two CalTech Jazz Bands draw its musicians from the students, faculty, staff and alumni of the California Institute of Technology and Occidental College, the CalTech-administered Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and the local community. The groups rehearse one night a week, and perform several concerts during each school year. Many world-famous musicians perform and clinic with the bands each year.
Each ensemble rehearses only one night a week, and performs three or four concerts every year. The ensembles have played many world premieres and performed for over ten thousand people. The bands have recorded four CDs, some of which are still available at the Caltech Bookstore. Three years ago, the Caltech Jazz Bands recorded at world-famous Capitol Studios in Hollywood.
Don’t miss an opportunity to get out and enjoy the sounds of the evening!
