Follow on Google News | WBGO Kids Jazz Concert Series Returns Saturdays in October + 1 in NovemberWBGO Jazz 88.3 FM’s Award-Winning Kids Jazz Concert Series Returns with Five Free, Interactive Programs for Young People
By: McClair PR The series presents top jazz and blues artists who produce programs tailor-made for young people, leaving time for further exploration of the music through Q&A sessions with the artists. The interactive programs give kids opportunities to learn about the distinct qualities of jazz, and why it is a reflection of the community, nation, and world. In addition to the music, the events include door prizes, a gift for each child and a fun-filled afternoon with other jazz lovers. Transportation assistance is available for organizations working with youth in Essex County, thanks to the generous support of The Agnes Varis Trust, which supports affordable access to the arts, education and healthcare. WBGO recognizes that some parents are not able to bring their children to concerts, even free ones, and groups that work with families on weekends cannot always afford buses. WBGO’s Transportation Fund aims to alleviate this barrier by giving groups funding to rent buses and provide a day of cultural enrichment for more kids. For additional information on transportation, e-mail kids@wbgo.org or call (973) 624-8880, extension 248.
