In the summer, Young Lions Jazz Conservatory students perform at Panama 66 on Wednesdays. Since YLJC is out of session, these performances are led by advanced students — this week, current student Jordan Yaeger — who choose their own musicians, pick and arrange the tunes, and run their own rehearsals. Invaluable real-world experience leading a band.

Big thanks to Panama 66 and the San Diego Museum of Art for their ongoing partnership and for giving our students and community such a wonderful home-away-from-home.
