Loudoun Jazz Ensemble

lje

The Loudoun Jazz Ensemble has been performing Big Band music throughout the Northern Virginia area since 1997. As a performing organization of the Loudoun Community Band, we provide the opportunity for area musicians who have a strong interest in "Big Band" jazz to rehearse on a regular basis and perform for the people of Loudoun County and the DC metro area.
 
LJE has performed at some incredible venues including The National Building Museum, The National Portraiture Gallery, The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (Udvar Hazy) and The National Cathedral. We also perform at local community events, private parties, fund-raisers and more. We are committed to performing a wide variety of big band music, from the 40's through today in the style and excellence expected of such an organization.
