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.

About BerkleeJazz.org

BerkleeJazz.org is the proud recipient of a Jazz.NEXT grant to utilize new online technologies to extend the reach of Berklee's annual High School Jazz Festival to a year-round, interactive, web-based “cyber association” of high school jazz instructors, students, and jazz enthusiasts. BerkleeJazz.org and our partners are proud to be a supporter of and resource for all things "jazz." If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
