The Berklee Concert Jazz Orchestra, directed by Greg Hopkins, is one of the most prestigious performing groups at Berklee College of Music in Boston.  The ensemble features the finest jazz instrumentalists in the school playing primarily original music written expressly for the group by the most accomplished jazz composers on campus.

The musical expression of the ensemble represents a unique fusion of international musical styles. The group represents a true melting pot of fine musical talent from around the world. The music was composed by writers from Spain, Italy, Turkey, Serbia, Argentina, Japan, France, Switzerland, and the United States.  These composers combine a wealth of exotic musical ideas with current and traditional jazz forms, resulting in many fresh approaches to the idiom.
