MCG Jazz The New Jazz Age Goes Virtual

SPRING 2021 STREAMING CONCERT SERIES

7 PREMIERES and 1 STAR-STUDDED GALA FINALE

In an effort to keep everyone safe, MCG Jazz is pausing all previously planned in-person concerts and educational events. When restrictions are lifted and we can safely hold in-person events, we will. We do not have a date set to reopen our doors, but we are proactively working with artists, their managers and agents to present these artists when it is safe to do so.

Beginning in February we will be providing you with a wide variety of interactive offerings to keep you connected to MCG Jazz and bring the New Jazz Age to you: Below please find the full line up of streaming concerts:
