Penn State Centre Dimensions

Penn State's Premier Jazz Orchestra

About Me

Centre Dimensions, the premier twenty-piece jazz ensemble at Penn State, directed by Dan Yoder, performs frequently on campus and tours throughout Pennsylvania and the East. In addition, Centre Dimensions performs and works with several internationally-known artists each year. Previous guests have included Cyrus Chesnut (piano), Bob Mintzer (sax), Wycliffe Gordon (trombone), George Rabbai (trumpet, vocals), Frank Morgan (sax), Lynn Seaton (bass), and John Riley (drums). They perform a challenging repertoire of modern and classic jazz, as well as originals written by the director. This highly selective ensemble is open to undergraduate and graduate students in all majors, by audition on the first day of the semester. Layout Provided By CodeMyLayout.com - Myspace Layouts
