The University of North Florida School of Music[2] is the music department of the University of North Florida, and one of the institution's flagship programs. Part of UNF's College of Arts and Sciences, it offers seven programs of study, the most noted of which is the jazz studies program, founded by the jazz euphonium player Rich Matteson in 1987. The department has several ensembles, including the Jazz Ensemble 1, which has performed at jazz festivals across the United States and internationally and has won several awards and been recognized in Down Beat Magazine, Cadence, and the Jazz Times.[3]
The UNF School of Music is housed in the Fine Arts Center on campus. It was opened in 2001 at a cost of $22 million.[4] The complex comprises the 1,400 seat Lazzara Performance Hall, a 200-seat recital hall, 44 individual practice rooms, and 4 large rehearsal rooms.[5] The Lazzara Performance Hall hosts performances throughout the year from national and international acts.[6]
