OUR MISSION is to connect and to heal
through music in our changing world.
Jazz and Classics for Change (“JCfC”) was established in the summer of 2019 with the mission, “To connect and to heal through music in our changing world.”
We are dedicated to bringing the highest quality music, performed by world-class jazz and classical musicians, to diverse audiences in Columbia and Berkshire Counties, thereby fostering a community that values music as a vital expression of the human experience.
We also perform for those who cannot come to us: young adults and adults with special abilities, residents of assisted-living facilities, and children of underserved communities.
Thank you for your unwavering support as we strive to build connections through music that enrich, inspire and honor the lives of all people.
