The 21-piece JCA Orchestra will perform a program of new music for jazz orchestra on Sunday, April 26, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. at the Mosesian Center for the Arts in Watertown, Massachusetts.
The concert will highlight original compositions by resident composers David Harris, Darrell Katz, Bob Pilkington, and Mimi Rabson.
