Jazz for Young People - Pt 2

Sat, Feb 21

Jazz for Young People is a three-part concert series designed especially for children ages 3–9 and their families! Across these playful and interactive 45-minute concerts, young listeners will discover the sounds, rhythms, and creativity that make jazz such a joyful American art form. Each program is hosted by actor, musician, and teacher Allison Mickelson and performed by Fellowship Jazz Collective, giving children an up-close experience with artists who bring this music to life. Part 1: Get to Know the Jazz Band — January 31 Kids will meet each instrument in the jazz band, hear what makes its voice unique, and learn how the musicians work together to create music that swings. Part 2: Rhythms of Jazz — February 21 From the steady beat to the syncopated surprises that make jazz come alive, children will feel and move to the rhythms that keep this music dancing. Part 3: Improvisation Is the Language of Jazz — March 28 Young audiences will discover how jazz musicians “talk” to one another through improvisation, turning ideas, emotions, and imagination into music on the spot.
