UCF’s premier jazz ensemble, The Flying Horse Big Band, will play the world premiere of An Artist’s Frame for Orlando, composed by UCF jazz director and band leader, Jeff Rupert. This multi-movement work for jazz ensemble is a retrospective of Orlando, from the perspective of an artist.
A guest artist, to be announced, will join the band for this unforgettable performance at UCF Celebrates the Arts 2026!
The Flying Horse Big Band was one of 10 university jazz bands in the country invited by Wynton Marsalis to participate in the National Collegiate Jazz Competition, held at the prestigious Lincoln Center in January. The award-winning jazz ensemble regularly performs in Orlando and throughout Central Florida.
