London Intercollegiate Jazz Orchestra, led by jazz drummer/composer Finn Genockey, features some of the most exciting up-and-coming jazz musicians currently studying at or recent graduates of London conservatoires Guildhall School of Music, Royal Academy of Music and Trinity College of Music alongside guest appearances from key faculty members across the colleges. The ensemble plays a wide selection of repertoire from students’ own compositions as well as music by notable large ensemble composers/arrangers: Bob Brookmeyer, Nikki Iles, Jim McNeely, Maria Schneider, Christine Jensen, Thad Jones and Stan Sulzmann to name a few. LIJO strives to push the boundaries past the average jazz orchestra concert, playing new and rarely heard compositions with new and exciting lineups.
