    ONLINE JAZZ PARTY & FUNDRAISER SPONSOR PACKAGES You’re Invited to Play your Part! The Nashville Jazz Workshop (NJW) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching people’s lives through jazz education and performance. For 20 years the NJW has delivered world class performances and music education to Nashville audiences and jazz fans around the country and the world. 2020 has been a challenging year for cultural institutions everywhere as they seek to fulfill their missions and remain financially viable. Fortunately, the internet has enabled the NJW to continue serving audiences and students – over 20,000 people have subscribed to the NJW’s YouTube channel to view live and archived performances and hundreds have enrolled in virtual classes since social distancing restrictions began in March. Jazzmania is the NJW’s annual jazz party and fundraiser. As a live event it has been “the jazz party of the year” and one of the city’s most engaging and fun charity events. As with other charity events, the event is moving online this year as a virtual event. On October 24, 2020 the Workshop will host Jazzmania as an online jazz party and evening of world class jazz performances. We will share our love of jazz, celebrate the Workshop’s 20th anniversary and ask our devoted fans to open their hearts and wallets to support the Workshop. The streaming event will also be targeted to a global audience, to build awareness of the NJW and engagement with jazz fans around the world. Proceeds from the event will support the NJW’s Music Education, Performance Series and Community Outreach.

The voices of acoustic duo Rachael & Vilray are magical enough on their own, but when they blend in song the results are utterly sublime.” —Chronogram "Rachael Price combines Amy Winehouse, Rita Hayworth and R&B charisma." - Billboard FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Philadelphia, PA, November 6, 2019) – The Kimmel Center Cultural Campus welcomes Lake Street Dive legendary front woman, singer/songwriter Rachael Price and Brooklyn composer/singer/guitarist, Vilray, for an intimate performance of their debut album Rachael & Vilray at the Kimmel Center’s Perelman Theater on Friday, December 13, 2019 at 8:00 p.m. Rachael & Vilray are a duo that grew from a shared reverence for the pop music of the 1930s and 40s and its wide range of emotions. With simple arrangements and a guitar for accompaniment, they perform original works and revive forgotten gems of the jazz big bands and western swing ensembles. Their sound recalls both the warmth of radio's golden age and the intimacy of parlor concerts in a time before recordings. “The Kimmel Center Cultural Campus is home to genre-bending performances and Rachael & Vilray’s artistry transcends generational barriers, gathering inspiration from past decades while creating a sound inimitably their own,” said Anne Ewers, President and CEO of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts.

The Brooklyn-based, classically-trained foursome have been together for over a decade, but after a sultry Jackson 5 cover that went viral, a show-stealing appearance alongside Jack White and Patti Smith at a 2014 Inside Llewyn Davies tribute show in NYC, and a new album of originals recorded while listening to a lot of Bowie and The Zombies, they’ve well and truly picked up the tempo. Moses Sumney, USA 15 January at 5.00pm $40 + booking fee Celestial, soulful, and subtly subversive, Moses Sumney makes dreamlike folk-soul that slow-dances with death and makes heartbreak sound holy. Raised in California and Ghana, counting Sufjan and Solange as fans before he’d even released his acclaimed debut EP, and with strands of Anohni and Billie Holiday in his musical DNA, Sumney writes songs that sound like they grew out of cracks in an LA sidewalk: natural, surprising, elegant, perfectly formed.

    FREE & BENEFIT JUNE-OCT PERFORMANCES LIMITED CAPACITY 2021 TICKETS REQUIRED FOR ENTRY SUMMERSTAGE.ORG SUMMERSTAGE NYCSUMMERSTAGE SUMMERSTAGENYC SUMMERSTAGE IS BACK More than a year after the first lockdown order, SummerStage is back, ready to once again use our city’s parks as gathering spaces to bring diverse and thriving communities together to find common ground through world-class arts and culture. We are committed to presenting a festival fully representing the city we serve - a roster of diverse artists, focused on gender equity and presenting distinct New York genres. This year, more than ever before, our festival will focus on renewal and resilience, reflective of our city and its continued evolution, featuring artists that are NYC-born, based, or inextricably linked to the city itself. Performers like SummerStage veteran Patti Smith, an icon of the city’s resilient rebelliousness, Brooklyn’s Antibalas, who have married afrobeat with New York City’s Latin soul, and hip hop duo Armand Hammer, two of today’s most important leaders of New York’s rap underground. And, as a perfect symbol of rebirth, Sun Ra’s Arkestra returns to our stage in this year of reopening, 35 years after they performed our very first concert, bringing their ethereal afro-futurist cosmic jazz vibes back to remind us of our ongoing mission and purpose. Our festival art this year also reflects our outlook -- bold, bright, powerful -- and was created by New Yorker Lyne Lucien, an award-winning Haitian artist based in Brooklyn. Lucien is an American Illustration Award Winner and a finalist for the Artbridge - Not a Monolith Residency.
