Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz 2011–2012 Performance and Master Class Schedule

THE JACKIE MCLEAN INSTITUTE OF JAZZ Jackie McLean joined the Hartt faculty in 1968. During his tenure, McLean developed Hartt’s African American Music Department, and in 2000 it was renamed in his honor. The Institute continues Hartt’s tradition of excellence, artistry, and education in jazz through its renowned faculty, mas-ter class guest artists, student performance opportunities, and accomplished alumni.

THE HARTT SCHOOL is the comprehensive performing arts conservatory of the University of Hartford that offers innovative degree programs in music, dance, and theatre. Founded in 1920, Hartt has been an integral part of the University of Hartford since its charter merged the then Hartt School of Music, the Hartford Art School, and Hillyer College to create the University in 1957. 2010 marked Hartt’s 90th year of providing world class performing arts education to students in Greater-Hartford and around the world. With more than 400 concerts, recitals, plays, master classes, dance performances, and musical theatre productions a year, performance is central to Hartt’s cur-riculum.
