Party Big Band:

AYJO explores the party music culture among young people and investigates whether a live big band can challenge/match the DJ when it's time to dance. The project is based on two very different musical traditions: jazz and pop music. What happens when a jazz orchestra is combined with the pop music genre? AYJO explores this new musical direction in the project.

The project is unique. When a large orchestra plays pop music originally composed for smaller groups, the music takes a completely new direction. The sonic experience will change from how one typically thinks a big band should sound but also pop music.

About Aalborg Youth Jazz Orchestra:

Aalborg Youth Jazz Orchestra (AYJO) is the newly established youth big band for the entire North Jutland and was founded in 2021 by Anton Langdahl. Since then, the orchestra has functioned as an elite youth big band and a talent development base for musicians in North Jutland. The orchestra consists mainly of young musicians from various music education programs in Aalborg and the surrounding areas, who can come together and play across different music environments, ages, and genders.

The project provides young musicians with a unique opportunity to try their hand at high-level big band music. With 16 public concerts per year in 4 projects, at various boarding schools, folk high schools, music schools, and venues, the orchestra is exposed to a predominantly young audience, significantly contributing to the national musical talent pool.
