Jazz Orchestra of the Conservatory of Perugia
live from **Mario Raja **
The Jazz Book
The Perugia Conservatory Jazz Orchestra, which consists of more than 40 elements, brings together those enrolled in the Triennium Jazz courses, classes that from some years attract to Perugia many young talents from from all over Italy. It is characterized by an atypical ensemble, in which alongside the typical instruments of this genre of training (piano, double bass, drums, saxophones, trumpets, clarinets) a section of 14 guitarists and a small choir stand out.
Conducting is to Mario Raja, one of Italy's best-known jazz musicians, from many years a teacher at the Conservatory, who arranged the repertoire specifically for this ensemble.
As in a cross-cultural journey through jazz history, the program presents a series of "Standards," mostly famous songs related to the interpretation of the greatest jazz musicians of all ages, from Charlie Parker to Ella Fitzgerald. Each piece is entrusted to one or two soloists, so that both individual qualities and the great impact of the ensemble can be appreciated.

The Morlacchi Conservatory of Perugia is the only State Institution of Higher Education in Artistic Music present in Umbria with the purpose of higher education, specialization, research and musical production. Founded more than two hundred years ago as a Music Institute, and erected into a Conservatory of Music in 1974, it definitively acquired, in 1999, the status of a university-level institution. It is considered among the most vital and proactive conservatories in Italy, both for the prestige of its teaching staff and for the quality, quantity and continuity of its artistic production. It relies on the professionalism of 102 tenured faculty and about 600 students enrolled in institutional courses; it awards three-year (First Level) and two-year specialist (Second Level) degrees. There is also an official propaedeutic course of study, which takes care of the training of younger students for later access to institutional courses. Teaching subjects include courses for all instruments. There is also a department of Jazz Music and New Music Technologies (Electronic Music) equipped with an excellent and technologically advanced laboratory. Instrumental practice is complemented by theory and ensemble subjects such as Music Theory, Harmony, History of Music, Ensemble Music and from Chamber, Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra from Chamber, Choir, Children's and Youth Choir. Finally, the educational offerings are enriched by the possibility of taking individual courses, which are accessed through an entrance exam, and free courses, released from traditional and institutional paths, open to all without age limits, which are accessed through a simple aptitude interview. The Conservatory, owned by the City of Perugia, is derived from the renovation of a monumental building from the 1500s. In its impressive Auditorium, a large from concert Organ, equipped with five keyboards to mechanical transmission, two pedalboards, fifty-eight registers and more than six thousand pipes, was specially built to the Conservatory's original design. Given the importance of the instrument, the Auditorium of the Conservatory of Perugia was chosen by MIUR as the official venue for holding the 2014 edition of the National Arts Prize for the "Organ" Section. Since November 2013 it has been directed by M° Piero Caraba. Since April 2015, the president of the Conservatory has been Prof. Andrea Sassi. (www.conservatorioperugia.it.)
