In this season of holiday concerts, the Syosset High School Jazz Ensemble recently treated audiences to a night of cool sounds.

The district partners with the Spirit Ensemble of Teachers College to bring Dr. Bert Konowitz, a professor of Music at Teachers College at Columbia University, to the high school, according to the district’s website.

Konowitz, who teaches jazz and classical music improvisation at Teachers College, works with Syosset High School students on the art of improvisation and composition in all styles of music.
