NUSU's longest running Big Band and Society of the Year 2019. Feel free to come along to our weekly rehearsals if you want to indulge a bit of Jazz, some Swing or a touch of Blues. We also play Latin, Funk, Soul, Motown and Pop numbers!
The Jazz Orchestra plays numerous public and private gigs throughout the year, ranging from Society Balls to Charity Fundraisers. We would love any dedicated and enthusiastic players to come along and join us!
We accept new members through an informal audition at the beginning of every year, so don't be afraid to give us a try. . We look forward to jamming with you!
This year is a bit different in terms of the audition process. To apply, we would like you to fill out the form below with your details and then send us a short video (approx 1 minute) of you playing/singing a jazz number of your choice. Please send this video via WeTransfer (the information on how to do this is on the form).

If you're unsure about anything involved, drop an email to nujo@hotmail.co.uk or send us a message on our Facebook (NUJO - Newcastle University Jazz Orchestra) or instagram page (@nujazzorchestra), we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
