The Beavercreek Weekend of Jazz, "Where the Future of Jazz Meets the Legends of Jazz!", is an annual jazz festival organized and presented by the Beavercreek Music Parents Association and held the first weekend in March. The primary objective of the Weekend of Jazz is to expose the youth of Beavercreek, Ohio and surrounding communities to new and exciting forms of jazz music and provide them opportunities to learn about careers in music directly from professional jazz musicians.
Thursday evening opens the festival with performances by the jazz bands of the Beavercreek schools – Ankeney and Ferguson Middle Schools and Beavercreek High School (Jazz Ensembles 1 and 2). These performances are observed by an on-stage jazz professional, who offers constructive critiques of each performance and encouragement for the young musicians and is open to the public. Admission is free.
Each year two professional jazz ensembles are invited to perform during the festival. Every opportunity is seized to give children direct access to the professional musicians, to ask them questions about their careers and to seek and receive advice and tutoring on their own performance skills. |
