Jazz Education Nonprofit Hosts Benefit Concerts and Student Showcases
Jazz Empowers announced a return to its in-person spring fundraiser events later this month.
- (1888PressRelease) April 11, 2023 - Jazz Empowers, a national nonprofit that brings jazz programs to students in underserved schools, recently announced a return to its in-person spring fundraiser events. The 2023 Spring benefit concert and student showcase will be hosted in Nashville and New York City, two of the largest programming hubs for Jazz Empowers. These two cities combined partner with 13 underserved schools and reach 600 students annually.
The Nashville benefit concert will be held on Sunday, April 16 from 2-4 p.m., at Analog, located inside The Hutton Hotel. The event will feature performances by members of the Jazz Empowers faculty band consisting of some of Nashville’s best professional jazz musicians as well as student performances from East End Prep jazz band, a Jazz Empowers participant. Nashville’s faculty band will include Sofia Goodman on drums, Roland Barber on trombone, Dan Hitchcock on tenor sax, and Gus Arnold on alto saxophone
For the past two years, Jazz Empowers has hosted successful online fundraising galas, raising over $25,000 to assist with music education programming centered around jazz for charter schools in its five hub cities - Chicago, Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, and New York City. This year’s benefit concert will mark the return to in-person fundraising events since 2019 for the nonprofit.
Established in 2014, Jazz Empowers’ mission is to help close the opportunity gap in music education with the goal that one day all students in America will have the opportunity to learn, love, and play jazz. Donations from the last two fundraisers have allowed the nonprofit to grow from serving 1,400 students to 5,000 students in just two years.
