About
Our main public programs are: Jazz for Curious Listeners, educational programming, and our live music series. Jazz for Curious Listeners is a weekly evening program that takes an in-depth look at jazz through conversations, lecture-demonstrations, interviews and live music, of which there was approximately 2,000 listeners in 2019. Our live music programming includes our Duke's Keys Piano Series where pianists perform on Duke Ellington's piano, New Sounds which features new and emerging artists, weekend jam sessions, International Jazz Day concert, and other exhibition themed concerts. 'Born in Harlem' is the core education program for teens and adults that looks at the musical and cultural innovations created in Harlem during the first half of the 20th century. About 2,400 people attended live music in 2019. 'Oom Bop Sh'Bam' is an introduction to jazz for students in grades K-7. Specialized workshops connect with grade specific curricula including; 'Changes in Society' which looks at post WWI and the African-American experience; 'Jazz Ambassadors' which looks at the Cold War and the role of jazz as a propaganda tool during the turbulent civil rights era; and 'Jazz Hands' a program designed specifically for visitors with developmental and/or learning disabilities. About 3,000 students were served in 2019. The museum's exhibits provide visitors with an in-depth look at the development of jazz in Harlem, a cultural epicenter of jazz and African-American art and culture. Exhibits draw from the museum's unique collections to showcase artifacts, images and multimedia technology that enable visitors to expand their knowledge and appreciation of jazz and the Harlem community. Our outreach touches more than 20,000 people annually through parades, festivals, and other outdoor events.
