 Since 2006, JazzFresno has presented over a dozen concerts featuring some of the top names in jazz. Hearing jazz performed live, whether in a concert hall, or a small jazz club, is a truly unique experience, and JazzFresno is working to provide additional opportunities to hear what has been called "America's Classical Music" locally, right here in the Central San Joaquin Valley. From Grammy award winners and international stars to established local legends and young up and comers, JazzFresno has been instrumental in enhancing opportunities to hear live jazz in the Fresno area.

Every year, JazzFresno brings accomplished jazz artists from across the globe, to our local schools for workshops and concerts. These unique opportunities can have life changing impacts in the lives of students, and provide the spark of inspiration that's sometimes necessary to keep young adults in school and off the streets.
