Face the Music is a program dedicated to preparing students ages 12-18 to be well rounded 21st century musicians and thinkers. We believe that in a world that is increasingly specialized, we need skilled generalists. We train young musicians to become seasoned improvisers who are not limited by style or genre, to trust and develop their own compositional voices whether or not they think of themselves as capital C “Composers,” and to develop the technical skills to approach any kind of music they might encounter with enthusiasm and curiosity, but also with confidence.

The Jazz Gallery is a not-for-profit arts organization presenting emerging artists who challenge convention, take creative risks, and lead their field as performers, composers and thinkers. We provide a platform for artists to discover their unique voice and a home for established musicians to continue to experiment and grow. At The Jazz Gallery, artists and audiences come together from around the world to explore new creative ideas, collaborate and celebrate jazz as a dynamic art form that reflects our ever-changing world.
