Festival Overview
For three decades, the KU Jazz Festival has been one of the focal points for jazz performance and education in the central United States. This non-competitive event has annually provided the region with a wonderful opportunity to hear and learn from world-class jazz musicians and educators. The festival is open to all college, high school and junior high/middle school big bands, jazz combos and vocal jazz ensembles.
Evening concerts feature a first-rate lineup of some of the most important and exciting musicians in the world of contemporary jazz, while daytime clinics and master classes with these and other artists allow students and community members to interact with them outside of the concert hall.
Concert Tickets are available through the Lied Center Box Office (785) 864-2787
