School Day Concerts
Email us at schoolprograms@sfjazz.org for more information.
These free performances are tailored to students in grades K-12 with leading jazz artists and educators at the SFJAZZ Center's beautiful Miner Auditorium, as well as direct to public and charter middle schools across San Francisco and Oakland. Students experience jazz in all its forms, explore how the African Diaspora shaped our musical landscape, participate in a highly interactive environment, and learn how jazz is alive, relevant and continuing to grow today!
It's such a pleasure to see the ideas and inspiration generated from their visit to SFJAZZ!

Whether creating their own compositions or reimagining the works of celebrated jazz musicians, each year these world-class artists come together to bring us exciting new music that reflects their extraordinary creativity. For this special School Day Concert, the SFJAZZ Collective will perform excerpts from a new multi-movement piece celebrating the band’s 20th anniversary season, sharing their process of creation and revealing what goes into the making of their pieces. Students and educators will witness how musical artists not only create something unique from their own imaginations, but also how they collaborate with one another. We welcome the audience to sing, clap and become inspired by these excellent musicians as we celebrate 20 years of the SFJAZZ Collective!
