“Jazz After Work” — A Concert Series, 6:30 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings in July.
Members of the public are invited and encouraged to attend in person. As per our visitor policy we ask that all visitors on campus wear masks while indoors on campus.
For over 20 years LJC has been opening evening faculty concerts to the public at its summer campus. We are excited to welcome the community to the Tisch Family Auditorium in the Perakos Performing Arts center on the Frederick Gunn School Campus, Washington, CT.
Concerts feature faculty members consisting of world-class jazz players and the finest up-and-coming young professionals, many of whom attended the camp in previous years.
On Friday evenings from 6-9 pm, our student combos perform (Friday, July 26, 12 pm). We welcome the public, free of charge, to enjoy and support the work of our young musicians.
