Causes: Arts & Culture, Music
Mission: The mission of Juneau Jazz & Classics is to provide rich musical experiences in Juneau, Southeast Alaska, and the entire state. The festival is designed to teach, as well as to enrich; to serve both those who can afford to purchase tickets and those who cannot; to inspire and educate young musicians; to entertain music lovers of all ages; and to create musical events that will attract visitors to our community.
Results: Juneau Jazz & Classics, now celebrating our 28th year, reaches 8,000-10,000 individuals including 2,000-4,000 students every year. The benefits of interacting with world-class musicians in a live, personal setting continue to accrue in our students' engagement, our community's cultural vibrancy, and our economy's symbiosis with the arts--all part of making Juneau a beautiful, engaging place to live, work, play, and visit.
