The Walnut Hills High School Jazz Ensemble has become recognized throughout our community for its high-octane performance level.  Not only has it competed frequently  

The New Horizons Dixieland Band of Cincinnati offers jazz and blues in addition to Dixieland tunes.  The band is composed of men and women and includes five graduates of music conservatories.  The other musicians are amateurs who love playing this peppy and fun kind of music.  Audiences of all ages find the beat and toe-tapping melodies irresistible.  A sing-along featuring holiday favorites will allow the audience to join in the merriment.

The music of jazz guitarist Sylvain’s group is both fresh and attractive, yet also familiar.  This is because the compositions, all original, draw from many diverse styles.  This kind of “world music” is all tied together by lyrically crafted melodies, choice harmonies, and Sylvain’s French vocals – vocals that can be wistful (N’fais pas d’betises) to positively gritty (New Orleans).

Hold on to your seats! The Kentucky Symphony Orchestra’s subsidiary group, the Flood Wall Jazz Sextet, will wake you up in a very good way. The group specializes in the music of Claude Bolling, Vince Guaraldi, Dave Brubeck, and others, bringing together a true hybrid mix of classical and jazz entertainment.

Honorary College Club member Paula Steiner has had a personal connection to the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra since 1997. It was then that the business in which she was a partner, Medical Research Laboratories, took on a benefactor role. Since 2004, as the company was sold to a corporation, Paula remained very active and supportive of the KSO, to this day, serving several terms on the board, including board president.
