BRUBECK JAZZ SUMMIT
Brubeck Jazz Summit is a transformative jazz education program for outstanding pre-college musicians from around the world. Led by Artistic Directors Roxy Coss and Lucas Pino, students learn from a diverse and passionate roster of world-class faculty and guest artists through combo rehearsals, masterclasses, career development, jam sessions, and performances.
The Summit provides an inclusive and nurturing learning environment, where students and faculty build a strong community of lifelong connections. Students are challenged to grow musically and personally, and are provided with an educational experience designed to inspire and equip them in their journey as the next generation of creative leaders in jazz.
A living legacy of the musician and international statesman, Dave Brubeck, the week-long Brubeck Jazz Summit is a partnership between Classical Tahoe and Brubeck Living Legacy, hosted at the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe campus located in a stunning mountain environment on the North Shore of beautiful Lake Tahoe.
With our partners at Classical Tahoe, Brubeck Living Legacy brings the Brubeck family’s jazz vision to Lake Tahoe to promote awareness, interest and the understanding of jazz and its role in American and international culture.
