The jazz course at MUK Vienna, one of the leading international jazz training institutions, will be presenting itself over five days at the end of the semester with an opulent showcase at Porgy & Bess: as part of the MUK.jazz.festival, current graduates will be presenting themselves in public Bachelor's and Master's concerts. They showcase their personal musical profile in top-class bands and take to the stage. Another highlight is the last day of the festival, on which the MUK.jazzorchestra, conducted by the internationally renowned composer and pianist Nikki Iles, this year's Artist in Residence of the degree program, will perform the program they have developed.
