STRIKING THE RIGHT CHORD IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES
As the school year comes to a close, JAZZ HOUSE is buzzing with activity! We’re wrapping up classes, celebrating the accomplishments of our graduating seniors and preparing students for an exciting lineup of upcoming spring and summer concerts in both our New Jersey and New York programs. Meanwhile, our JAZZ HOUSE Big Band is getting ready to seize the spotlight at the prestigious Essentially Ellington Competition, joining 29 other top bands from across the nation.
In this climate of uncertainty for arts funding, your gift makes an immediate impact, helping ensure that JAZZ HOUSE KiDS remains a beacon of artistic excellence, educational opportunity, and promise, even as we meet the challenges ahead.
We ask for your support to help us close our fiscal year strong and enter the summer months ready to inspire and transform over 250 young lives. Each year your generosity helps us provide nearly $150,000 in scholarships, ensuring that no student is ever turned away from the door to the JAZZ HOUSE due to financial need.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THE JAZZ HOUSE?
We are committed to double-down in our mission this summer and beyond to show up for our young people every day—to engage our students to excel, think boldly, dream big, and deliver on our promise to nurture community leaders and global citizens through the power of jazz.
WHY IT MATTERS?
In the quiet moments between notes, something powerful happens at JAZZ HOUSE KiDS. A student who never thought they belonged finds their voice. A community reignites its cultural heritage. A future leader discovers the confidence to stand tall.
