Fusion
Fusion is GCHFA’s premier jazz ensemble, designed for the most dedicated and talented young musicians. This elite group is exclusively open to students currently enrolled in an Advanced-level ensemble at GCHFA. Aspiring members must undergo an audition held at the beginning of May.
​
The repertoire for Fusion is challenging and diverse, featuring a mix of jazz styles including swing, Latin, funk, rock, and more. Students will be pushed to explore the technical intricacies and artistic nuances of each genre, ensuring a comprehensive and enriching musical experience.
​
Fusion rehearses throughout the summer in order to prepare for their extensive gig schedule, spanning throughout the school year about once a month. Additionally, Fusion participates in the Jazz Music Performance Assessment (MPA), offering students a platform to receive professional feedback and recognition for their efforts.
​
Fusion is more than just a class—it's an opportunity for young musicians to push their boundaries, refine their skills, and shine on a professional stage, and make lifelong friends. Join Fusion and become part of a legacy of musical excellence at GCHFA.
