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.
