Here is a look at what our 2024 JazzArts Academy seniors are up to next. Congratulations to them all.

The vibrant sounds of New Orleans recently echoed with the passion and dedication of countless individuals who gathered for the 2024 Jazz Education Network Conference in New Orleans, LA. As the President and CEO of JazzArts Charlotte and the Board President of the Jazz Education Network, I am filled with tremendous pride as my two worlds came together at this exceptional event.

Our JazzArts All-Star Ensemble recently traveled to the Jazz Education Network (JEN) Conference in New Orleans after being selected to perform at the prestigious international conference.

This past November 4-7 was the North Carolina Music Educators Association (NCMEA) Conference in Winston-Salem. The largest gathering of music educators in the state with well over 1,000 attendees, this year’s theme was “Inspire Harmony.” The JazzArts All-Star Youth Ensemble had their inaugural performance at the conference in front of an appreciative and impressed audience!

October 4, your little ones will have the opportunity to begin mastering the ABCs of jazz – and have fun while doing so – with the relaunch of WeBop. WeBop is Jazz at Lincoln Center’s award-winning early-childhood jazz education program, and we are one of a very small number of institutions across the country that is certified to teach the curriculum.
