Sponsorships
Over three intensive days, more than 1,000 emerging jazz musicians from throughout the Western United States will perform for and receive coaching from exceptional music educators and performing artists. Students will attend dozens of workshops about the art and profession of jazz, learning from the best of the best. And they'll see professional jazz artists in concert.
In addition to the packed schedule of events, participants tell us year after year that they are most inspired by their peers and the friendships and connections they make during the Festival.
Join us in supporting the next generation of jazz artists.
