Please join us as we welcome the Ryan Middagh Jazz Orchestra in their first Performance Live at the Nashville Jazz Workshop.

The mission of the Ryan Middagh Jazz Orchestra is to create a high quality music, collaborate within and across musical genres, and educate our community of the diverse music called jazz.

Ryan Middagh and his Jazz Orchestra seek to show that Music City is a great home for the large jazz ensemble. The members of Middagh’s ensemble include top-call studio musicians, touring artists, music educators, and fellow composers and arrangers.

Ryan, a producer, saxophonist, composer, arranger and educator, is Director of Jazz Studies at Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music; a native of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Middagh has called Nashville home since 2007. The jazz orchestra founded in early 2018 is a life-long dream as well as a vehicle for Middagh’s compositions and arrangements.
