Central Pennsylvania Friends of Jazz

As we proudly celebrate our 45th anniversary, the Central Pennsylvania Friends of Jazz remains passionately dedicated to preserving, promoting, and advancing jazz—America’s original art form. Since 1980, we’ve brought the spirit of jazz to life through vibrant performances, transformative educational initiatives, and inclusive community events. With a renewed commitment to revitalization, sustainability, and impactful fundraising, we continue to grow through strong partnerships with corporations and collaborations with arts organizations at the regional, state, and national levels. Together, we honor the legacy of jazz and build its future—one note at a time.
