“Improvisation has been overlooked in classical music education.  Improvisation has always been a cornerstone of the work of great composers. However, following the era of the virtuosi, improvisation steadily moved further outside traditional music curricula and soon became the exclusive tool of jazz musicians. In Music Education students of improvisation and classical performance became fully separated in their studies. In addition to music scholarship and performance training, the Honors Music Program pursues a holistic approach to music education so that students may understand more completely and hear more deeply. We encourage students to explore the source of their own music.” -Anil T. Bharvaney

The yearly Young Artist Jazz Showcase is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Bharvaney. We share his love of Jazz music and appreciate the unique opportunity that this event provides to our community.
