As we wrap up our 40th anniversary season, and we look forward to our next chapter, we are launching a fundraising CHALLENGE!!! 

From now until midnight, June 22nd, the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra Board will match all donations up to $5,000.

We invite you to share our mission and bring jazz, and jazz education, to the region and beyond. Donate now and your gift will make twice the impact, with our $1 for $1 match.

Thank you for being a valued partner in bringing jazz to Northeast Ohio. Your continued support is critical in helping us remain part of the cultural fabric of the region for the next 40 years!
