BIG BAND NIGHTS

Lauren Elizabeth Baba is curator and producer of the music series “Big Band Nights” that headlines three big bands in one night – creating a space for big band leaders to perform + share music + ideas and to build a strong music community.  There have been 8 shows in the series featuring John Daversa [Frost Jazz Orchestra], Genevieve Artadi, Alan Ferber, Joey Sellers, Kim Richmond, Elliot Deutsch, and many others. She also created “Student Big Band Composer Spotlight” - a sub-series that premiers original student compositions that are workshopped + performed + recorded by theBABAorchestra.
