Jazz music is for everyone – uniquely American and an international phenomenon. Help us keep our concerts and education programs free and affordable.
In 2018, the DC Jazz Festival (DCJF) won the DC Mayor’s Arts Award for Excellence in Creative Industries. With donors like you, DC residents and out-of-town visitors of all ages and backgrounds will experience high-quality jazz concerts and programs; have unprecedented access to free and reasonably-priced events in own neighborhoods; and develop an increased appreciation for jazz as well as an understanding of the District’s contributions to the art form. With your support, the DCJF is able to fund year-long education programs along with our annual two-week summer festival featuring leading and emerging artists from around the world to nurture and enable local residents and international visitors to enjoy the diversity of jazz. https://dcjazzfest.org/circle-of-friends
