    Capital University's Conservatory of Music will present the 19th annual Jazz & World Music Festival from April 8-26, 2013.

    In addition, one day is earmarked for the Jazz Ensemble Invitational (Friday, April 12, 2013) that brings together middle and high school, collegiate and community jazz ensembles from within a five-state region for a friendly non-competitive atmosphere in an educationally emphasized setting. Adjudication is provided by internationally, nationally and regionally recognized judges annually. The event is an endorsed event of the Jazz Education Network.
