Jazz Cabaret

Join us on Saturday, July 30 at 7:30pm for a relaxing evening of jazz music in an intimate night club setting to support free jazz education for Cincinnati youth at the KHAC Lindner Annex, 6620 Montgomery Road.

Youth Jazz Cincinnati is an afterschool program providing intensive jazz music education and performance opportunities for Cincinnati Public Schools students in grades 4-12, under the direction of Dr. Isisdore Rudrick. Started in 2019 with just 28 students, the free program now serves more than 100 diverse youth four days a week at Kennedy Heights Arts Center’s Lindner Annex. Its student musicians have performed with international guest artists and on stages from the Aronoff Center for the Arts to the Harlem Jazz Club in NYC.

During the event, you will have the opportunity to hear our Youth Jazz Cincinnati Elementary Ensemble as they prepare for a fall performance and study trip to Barcelona, Spain! They will perform classic jazz by Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Benny Goodman and many others, with special guests the Jim Anderson Quartet.

Enjoy free wine, beverages and light bites.

Jazz Cabaret, a fundraiser for Youth Jazz Cincinnati is a partnership of Kennedy Heights Arts Center and Cincinnati Public Schools. All proceeds will benefit Youth Jazz Cincinnati.
