Chamber 爵士乐 Ensembles
Chamber 爵士乐 or combo experience is vital to the 爵士乐 program at BGSU. All groups meet twice a week for rehearsal. One concert is required for each ensemble per semester. Additionally, each group plays in a master class setting giving a mini-concert for their peers and faculty. Additional opportunities exist for gigs and school community concerts.
爵士乐 Guitar Ensemble
Founded in 1985 by Chris Buzzelli and currently directed by Ariel Kasler, the group features a guitar “section” of 4-10 guitarists, a bass player and a drummer. The ensemble performs a wide selection of 爵士乐 arrangements, including standards, orchestrations of big band charts, and modern 爵士乐 selections composed for 爵士乐 guitar ensemble. BGSU is home to a large 爵士乐 guitar ensemble library with several hundred charts, including the entire collection of Jack Petersen’s arrangements and compositions.
Vocal 爵士乐 Ensemble

The 12-voice Vocal 爵士乐 Ensemble (VJE) performs a variety of music in the vocal 爵士乐 tradition: solo and tight-harmony choral music in the style of groups such as The Manhattan Transfer or The Real Group. The ensemble, which includes a rhythm section made up of BGSU students, each year explores a wide variety of musical styles and genres from bebop to show tunes. The group has already enthusiastic response through its performances on campus and at off-campus sites such at the Manor House at Toledo’s Wildwood MetroPark.
