The Harlem School of the Arts x Roy Hargrove Big Band Intensive! August 25 - 29, 2025. We are excited to partner with Harlem School of the Arts for their FREE Summer Big Band Intensive!

Lead by the Roy Hargrove Big Band this intensive offers students a rare opportunity to learn directly from original members of the acclaimed ensemble. All of the instructors have performed and recorded with Roy’s various groups - including his iconic quintet, RH Factor, and Crisol - and currently serve as faculty at prestigious institutions such as Juilliard, Montclair State, and Northwestern University.

The students will get to immerse themselves in Roy’s uncompromising approach to music and learn directly from these seasoned professionals - masters in their own right - who will share not only their deep musical knowledge but also their insights into what it truly takes to play his music.
