Pennsylvania Jazz Collective

Overview

The Pennsylvania Jazz Collective is a non-profit organization dedicated to education and presentation of jazz, producing events in spring, summer, and fall.

Events Sure Not To Miss

• In spring, the PA Jazz Collective promotes Lehigh Valley performances throughout April in conjunction with National Jazz Appreciation Month and culminating with their popular PAJAZZ IDOL program.
• In summer, three distinctly different jazz festivals are presented:
  • A jazz and wine festival at Cherry Valley Winery serves as a fundraiser for the Jerry Kozic Memorial Scholarship.
  • Christmas City Summer Jazz Festival which will be held at the Bethlehem Municipal Ice Rink, featuring regional jazz artists of distinction on two stages from 12 noon – 10 p.m.
  • The summer season ends with an emerging talent showcase festival at the Riverside Park in Easton, Pa.
  • In fall, specifically November, Jazz Series is presented at Moravian College. A major part of their mission is about education and this four day series offers students a great opportunity to interact with industry recognized jazz artists.

All PAJAZZ events are free and open to the public. The Pennsylvania Jazz Collective relies on grants, business sponsorship, and public membership.
