WHAT IS WBGO KIDS JAZZ??

Discover America’s original musical art form at the WBGO Kids Jazz Concert Series – a free concert series bringing jazz culture and performance to your neighborhood. WBGO presents these concerts during the Spring and Fall on Saturday afternoons. These interactive, hour-long concerts give kids opportunities to learn about the distinct qualities of jazz, and why it’s a reflection of our community, our nation, and our world! Arts, Venues, and Topics change from concert to concert so be sure to come back often. Q&A sessions with the artists, small gifts, and a chance to win a door prize are just some of the reasons to come out and join us! Full series calendar at www.wbgo.org/kids .
