Jazz Singers Showcase category at the High School Jazz Festival

Berklee Summer Programs

Spend your summer making music with students from all over the world who share your passion!

For 51 years, the High School Jazz Festival has been a destination for young musicians. As of January 26, 2019, the Festival has been suspended. The college will redirect funds that had supported the High School Jazz Festival to an initiative for Berklee undergraduate students to help them stay in school and complete their studies.

We thank all the music educators for their tireless contributions. They’ve made huge differences in the artistic lives of young musicians, and guided generations of musicians to play and love jazz.
